I've been thinking about this a little over the past couple of days, and
I think I agree.
Packages being uploaded to unstable should be being checked with the
version of lintian in unstable at the time of building. For the case
where one is preparing a -{security,proposed-updates} upload, lintian
cleanness isn't top of the priority list and relying on the output of
the version of lintian in the relevant distribution isn't likely to
produce great results (particularly in the case of oldstable).
