Hi Tong,

Lintian can check both source packages (*.dsc) or binary packages
(*.deb). By running it on the .dsc file, you only see the results of
source checks.

The solution to this is to invoke lintian on the .changes file.
As a consequence it will do both source and binary checks.

Hope that helps !
