Failed test 'ANCIENT_DATE is up to date'
These mails from Jenkins are not as helpful as they could be...
See <https://jenkins.debian.net/job/lintian-tests_sid/755/changes>
There's nothing interesting directly on the page. It would be much 
better if the mail linked to:
https://jenkins.debian.net/job/lintian-tests_sid/755/console
[...truncated 4712 lines...]
pass tests::fields-indep-without-arch-indep
pass tests::fields-depends-general
pass tests::fields-maintainer
...
I can't recall a single time the lines the Jenkins mail quoted gave my 
any clue what is wrong. In this case the error (which was somewhere 
within these 4712 truncated lines) is:
#   Failed test 'ANCIENT_DATE is up to date'
#   at t/scripts/ancient-sv-date.t line 50.
#     '1385040054'
#         <
#     '1384819200'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 2.
