Actually, my standards version is 3.5.2.0. And the lintian
explanation for this is:
N: The source package refers to a `Standards-Version' which is newer than
N: the one lintian is programmed to check. If the source package is
N: correct, then please upgrade lintian to the newest version. (If there
N: is no newer lintian version, then please bug lintian-maint@debian.org
N: to make one.)
So I think it is a lintian bug.

What's the advantage to using this? I couldn't find any references in
the debhelper docs or in policy to it. Would this be different that
having a private configure target for the internal use of the build
system?
