I don't understand why we would ever want to check for this given that we
already have newer-standards-version. What specific problems are you
expecting to find? I assume that you intend the tag to only be relevant
for lintian.d.o (it's really meaningless before an upload), but I'm not
sure what anyone would do with the lintian.d.o output from it.
