After further investigation, I don't think the small issue on the
scheduling side (an uninitialized value warning) is related.
The HTML report code iterates the same list of packages when producing
both the main and full reports so currently they'll all be included. I'm
currently testing a small patch which would only list those actually
included on the page.

Hmmm, the PTS link should potentially point at
http://lintian.debian.org/full/pkg-php-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org.html instead. There's already a separate display of any errors or warnings so having the general report link reference the same page seems at the least redundant.
