Well, you missed the fact that the index file will list all packages,
regardless of suite and arch. The current lintian.d.o interface simply
isn't capable of showing that, so it should be limited.
I'm not entirely sure yet how this all is going to work together
exactly, there's more things that needs such techinques to show only
particular archs/suites/etc. And the html_reports thingy is still being
a bitch at me, it requires some other permanent-lab internal data...

Info tags are reported, I think the reporting might hide them indeed...
oh well. Brilliant idea's appreciated :)

Yeah, the current status files having a summary of amount of lintian
err/warn/info is already a start for that. Again, probably should become
something across this whole system.
