I stumbled upon this earlier but was told by a fellow developer that this is due

to lintian being already updated, but debhelper isn't (in unstable) yet containing

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debhelper/-/commit/d70caa69c64b124e3611c967cfab93aef48346d8.

The files will move location once rebuilt with the new debhelper without any

action on the packaging side.

HTH.
