That could work, although it would have the drawback of potentially
hiding the "really important" tags. I suspect we should only consider
removing/hiding tags if they were somehow introduced by the LTS update
process itself. Or, putting it another way: in the usual case, there
should probably be no difference between the Lintian output between
before and after applying a fix for relevant CVE(s)?
