Hi Matthias,
Lintian doesn't depend on hardening-includes for hardening-wrapper.
Rather, it uses it for the hardening-check script, which it runs as part
of Lintian checks, and it build-depends as well as depends on it because
it runs the script as part of its test suite.
Is there a replacement source for that script?
