Fair point. Multi-language repos / project exists (was just talking to
upstream with an existing C++/Python layer about adding an R package). Some
(most?) still use the standard default but there can always be extra tests.

Sure. And it is a fairly cost (for a new piece of lintian checking code) with
a large potential benefit.
