It doesn't, really, but the documentation isn't particularly clear. (It
does have a hard-coded path component, but that would have worked fine for
your example with the right options.)

You actually wanted:
lintian --allow-root --show-overrides -viI \
--archivedir /var/local/packages --dist custom --section main
I'll update the man page to be clearer about how lintian constructs the
path to the package repository.
