Hi,
We are looking at #605999 - Lintian have never been reviewed for "3.0
(git)" support (nor the bzr-one); partly because the format is not
officially approved by the Debian archive (note that dpkg-source(1)
lists these formats as experimental).
That said, the current master branch seems to be able to process it
(mostly). A bit of searching suggests that the first version to process
a "3.0 (git)" package was 2.5.11 - guess I can close #605999 now. :>
