I also have some reserves, especially in terms of compute power needed
for those checks. Lintian needs to stay a tool that's relatively "cheap"
to run and I would be afraid checking all the images in a package could
dramatically affect runtime.
Not only that, but libraries used for parsing images are often large and
tend to come with a lot of security updates (since they tend to have a
lot of vulnerabilities...). Not sure we really want Lintian to depend on
that :(
