Bug#660733: [reporting/harness]: do "one-time" runs of trial checks on lintian.d.o?

[Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>]

Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist

This suggestion is based on #367466 comment 22 and also on some thoughts
I did when we added the perl4-libs warning.

The basic idea would be to "inject" extra checks in the standard lintian
run, but filter the tags into a separate log file[1].  Together with a
fix for #660732 we could get "full run" sample of that check.

We may want to restrict "droping of checks" to (checks reviewed by)
Lintian maintainers[2].  It is also possible we want to fix #359059 first.

[1] How the "injection" would work in practise ... is an exercise left
for the reader/implemented/etc.

[2] Else a faulty unannounced check could DoS lintian.d.o for days (e.g.
by entering endless loop).
