This will be fixed with a proper config file.

The sample config file should be a fairly good example, but yeah, you have
to guess a little at what things mean. At the least, you have
$LINTIAN_ROOT set wrong; it needs to point to the root of your Lintian
installation.
I don't think there's any documentation about what the different variables
are used for. I'd really like to eventually get to the point where we can
install the harness as a regular program rather than what we're doing now,
and make it much easier to use outside of lintian.d.o. But I want to do
lots of things, and right now unfortunately have very little time....

Yes, but you wouldn't get a unified report. But yeah, that would be fine
if you don't mind that. You'll need different config files and different
www output directories for each (and different labs and log files too).
