That's mostly because few people look at the informative messages, which
is a problem that I'd like to fix by making them more reliable and useful.
I wish I had time to work on a better fine-grained lintian message
classification system.
I'll think about it. We seem to be gathering more momentum around the
idea that watch files should be expected and almost always used.
