As far as I understood Lucas is talking about a patched lintian and
grep -R "should switch to dh" /usr/share/lintian/*
has no results so this warning is not part of lintian. Similarly
prottest (U) should switch to dh. Current build system: debhelper (source version: 3.4.2+dfsg-3)
python-pyfaidx (U) should switch to dh. Current build system: debhelper (source version: 0.5.5.2-1)
are false positives of this lintian fork.
Kind regards
Andreas.
