It's impossible to catch every issue in an automated way. There are
things that can be caught (such as, /maybe/, this), but you have to deal
with the fact that some things will still slip through the cracks.
I'm also not at all sure whether sbuild runs lintian during the build.
Perhaps that would be good, though.
