@lamby: It is a build-profile (not a file).  As used in e.g. the
Build-Profiles field in d/control.

Regarding the proposal: Lintian is not the one deciding the namespace
rules for build-profiles.  We only emit tags based on the existing
guidelines/namespace rules (https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec).
  I have CC'ed Helmut as he is more involved in the build-profiles work.


Thanks,
