Try these commands to find out what files lintian is looking at:
lintian --verbose
strace -f -F -e trace=open lintian
If it is opening the *_source.changes file then I guess you forgot to
build the package before running lintian.
If it is opening the *_amd64.changes or *_i386.changes file but not
the *.deb then read the .changes file and check if it lists .deb files
in it. If it does list *.deb files then I guess this is a lintian bug.
