Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.8
Severity: normal

My debian/preinst script has the following:

  divert_file () {
      dpkg-divert --package server-web --divert $1.dpkg-orig $1
  }

And lintian complains with:

  E: server-web: diversion-for-unknown-file $1 preinst:4
  N:
  N:    The maintainer script adds a diversion for a file that is not provided
  N:    by this package.
  N:
  N:    Severity: important, Certainty: certain
  N:

This should be downgraded to a "possible" as it is incorrect in this case.

Please upgrade your Lintian. :-) Version 2.2.8 has been superseded in testing already.
This is #519268, which was fixed in Lintian 2.2.9; merging with the earlier report. 

Regards,
Adam
