Bug#930679: Please add overridable tag for not using dh sequencer

[Sam Hartman <hartmans@debian.org>]

package: lintian
severity: wishlist

Hi.
In
https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/tslmuif7pwy.fsf@suchdamage.org

I document a consensus of a discussion  we had on debian-devel.

Based on that I think we'd like lintian to detect when dh is not used
and allow maintainers to override the tag if they have an adequate
justification for not using dh.
It would be even better to detect some of the adequate justifications
automatically like  Haskell packages.

I'm opening this bug to track the issue.
There's ongoing discussion in debian-policy about the specifics at the
policy level.
