This issue could be solved by automatically rejecting all packages
with a lintian error when it show up in NEW. This way the prospective
maintainer get an immediate feedback and a motivation to fix the
problems. As the ftpmasters check the lintian override file, the
quick and dirty way to get rid of lintian errors and warnings will not
work.
Anyone know why this isn't done already?
