Follows the output of a "lintian -d" on a *.dsc file. I get the same behaviour on all *.dsc file on which I'm trying, otherwise I get no problem in using lintian on *.deb packages. I also straced the lintian process and noticed that the "No such file or directory" came from a lintian-status file looked for in /tmp, probably the lintian temp dir in which it unpack the source file. Is this supposed to be a lintian bug? Anyway I found no mention of it in the BTS ...
