It is broadly acceptable, but if you can reduce the time by assembling artifacts in advance, I think that it is still worth doing to save time and not repeat computation that doesn't need to be repeated. As a bonus you're then not also testing the package build toolchain with each Lintian CI run - you are (mostly) only testing Lintian itself.
