Hi Felix,

First of all, thanks for your work in lintian!

I could not help but have a concern reading your reply. It feels to me
that you could have the intent to move the *production* lintian site out
of Debian's machines. Of course I could understand that a *test* version
of lintian.debian.org would be hosted somewhere else. But I (and I'm
probably not alone) would have a really hard time understanding or
accepting that the production version moved outside of debian.org and on
a non-controlled Debian machine.

Lintian is debian-centric, and its checks have influence on many parts
of the infra. To me it needs to stay in Debian for the production part.

I hope you understand that.

Cheers!

It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
