Bug#884499: lintian: Pedantic check for packages not using debhelper or CDBS

Ooh, now that's an interesting concept. :) Let me run that over in my
mind for a few days..

Y'know, I think we could make it even more effective if we renamed --
pedantic at the same time. This would have the benefits of a)
highlighting the change of semantics and b) we could perhaps choose a
name that does not imply it is "just" another level of pickiness…
Almost to the point of "lintian --give-me-possible-things-to-consider"


Best wishes,
