I'm fine with adding Build-Depends to do reasonable testing, as long as
they're not likely to cause problems for building. Lintian is
arch-independent, so it's not like we're stressing buildds or something.
I'm happy to have git-buildpackage install some stuff to be able to test
all of Lintian's tags as long as it doesn't take minutes to install. (For
instance, I might balk at build-depending on LibreOffice. *grin*)
