Yeah, I don't think I usually actually use that script (I just do what it
does manually, since I'm used to it), so it's probably bit-rotted a bit.

Oh, we should request that be installed.

No, I never run the tests there, just build the documentation so that it
will show up on the web site. Since it's running stable, I would actually
expect some of the tests to fail if they rely on functionality (to build
the test packages, not in Lintian itself, obviously) added since stable,
so I'm not sure running the tests is all that useful. Although now that I
think about it some more, I'm not sure what functionality we'd rely on.
