Bug#652114: lintian: LINTIAN_PROFILE is not available to checks

tags 652114 wontfix
thanks

Hi,

As stated in [1], I believe the vendor data files is a better
alternative than this.  Therefore, I will tag this as wontfix.

I have committed the changes for vendor data files to the master branch
and they can be used to generalize the distribution check[2].
