Cool, thanks!

That branch name is probably not the best idea as that name is
commonly the name of a tag in the git-buildpackage workflow. Should be
ok though if you remove that feature branch after it has been merged
back and before the tag is pushed.

On which Debian release have you run lintian? On Debian stable? (I
guess so, because the deprecated "git buildpackage" no more works on
Unstable/Testing. You need to use "gbp buildpackage" instead there.)
If so, you need to install lintian from backports. Lintian from
backports follows Lintian from Unstable/Testing rather quickly.
