Personally, I would recommend that you found a different server/method
to provide these files. There has been talk about moving the lintian
setup to a different server and having lintian use tmpfs for working on
packages.
It is my understanding will effectively lead to the lab being (mostly)
empty most of the time. Though, do not quote me on it as I am not
certain if/when it will happen or if I got all the details of the new
setup right.
