I don't think there is any .d.o service for this (yet).  I have a
wishlist bug against devscripts for a local cronjob example that will
query DEHS to do this, though.  I also have a 30 line "webdiff" script
I'm running nightly against a couple pages, which I supposed could be
used to do the same thing.

unstable does have a newer lintian; I don't know if thats the cause.
You still know lintian -I, right?  I guess ldd -u might help find the
cause.
