The approach that at least some other services (release, buildd, qa)
take is to have a cron-errors@ alias, to which the crontab sets MAILTO.
lintian.d.o is explicitly declared not to have a mail service though, so
that won't work.

Probably the easiest solution would be to add a /home/lintian/.forward
and send the mails somewhere sensible.
