Fully agreed.

OK, so here's a RFC for the draft I've pushed to the bug759403 branch
in my Lintian Git repo:

git remote add intrigeri https://git-tails.immerda.ch/intrigeri/lintian

I am not very happy with how the code looks like at this point, in
particular it feels that I'm not understanding the data structures
well enough to use them in an elegant way. Suggestions welcome :)

Also, before we settle on this output format, I would like to quickly
validate it by drafting code for the use case I had in mind for that
machine-readable report.

Cheers,
