Please provide lintian.log somewhere (subdir data/?), and add a link to the
generated webpage to it.

tag is called with an unkown tag, this is a bug, I'll have the code
there check for that case first... and bail out with the statement which
tag it was called with. Which packages did it occur in?

Almost all cases of using different mailadress in changelog compared to
the 'Maintainer:' entry. katie too will think it's a NMU. It should
maybe be made more clear that the error could be in the fact that it was
not intended to be a NMU, and it isn't necessarily the version number
that's at fault. It's an inconsistency version number <-> NMU-ness.

* testset/filenames:
+ [JvW] Fix two lintian warnings in lintian itself by touching
files only on clean target, and not distributing them in the source
Since the archive has the not-yet-fixed 1.23.0 version, you'll indeed
find that.
