Bug#812248: lintian: don't check Homepage field (and similar) against dbgsym packages

That would be awesome.

I just discovered that postgresql-common's pg_buildext script has a
bug that triggers "debug-file-with-no-debug-symbols" on a lot of
extension packages. Having lintian.d.o spot these would allow me to
reupload the broken packages.

That said, I think debug-file-with-no-debug-symbols should be E, not
W. I did see these warnings in my local build logs, but given -dbgsym
packages were still new, I pushed them off as spurious and likely
bogus (the debug files do have content (but apparently only comments
or whatever)). 'E' would likely have made me check for the problem
earlier.

Thanks,
Christoph
