As you know, both of these already happened several months ago. I have
not commented here because I am still chewing on a related, but much
harder problem:
Lintian will soon cease to run blindly across the archive and instead
produce packaging hints on demand, as uploads are received by the
archive. There is no batch process anymore that will produce files for
the entire archive the way you expect. Instead, Lintian's new website
https://lintian.debian.*net* offers a JSON interface [1] to get up to
date information similar to DAKweb. [2] The Node.js maintainers
already use it.
Retitling to better reflect the problem at hand. Ideas are welcome.
Kind regards
