Bug#640366: lintian: --verbose + --quiet is not either --verbose or --quiet
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.2
Severity: minor

Hi,
Running lintian with --verbose --quiet at the same time produces output
that is different from "lintian --verbose" and "lintian --quiet". Until
now this has been difficult to spot, since the only message that "--quiet"
suppresses is the "override" statistic in the end[1]. With the coming
changes this becomes "more visible" as there are now more messages
suppressed by --quiet.
Code-wise, they are basically disjoined[2], but their names (and
documentation) implies that they are related.

[1] Which is not printed if there are no overrides anyway.
[2] --verbose enables v_msg but not msg
--quiet disables msg but not v_msg
