I ran lintian on i386 (and I updated the m68k version to 1.20.14.1 as well).
The messages do not appear on i386, but they do appear on m68k.
So I guess its a perl problem? perl is 5.6.1-5 on both machines.

You mean lintian -d? Well, whose bug is it? I'm neither a perl nor a lintian
expert, but the log doesn't give me any clue... a few more line with debug
output, if you need more, just let me know. If you insist on a bug report,
tell me.
