I'm still seeing that error when I'm building it, but honestly I don't
know what happened at my end, and yours, because I have no idea how it
comes to like this.

Here is what I'm getting now:

$ apt-cache policy lintian

including my build test on ffcvt as well.

@Chris,

if Lintian only has visibility against the binary, then maybe the
"Go BuildID" from `file` output can be used as a strong indicator?
