Hi,

The bug (#861958) says it only affects lintian from version 2.5.41 or
later.  Wheezy has 2.5.10.4 and thus unaffected.  Even Wheezy-backports
at 2.5.30 should be fine (only -sloppy is affected).

IOW, I think there is nothing for either of us to do (except update the
metadata about CVE-2017-8829). :)

Thanks,
