It is what apt-get "update" and "dist-upgrade" gave me on Sid.
It was downloaded during "dist-upgrade":
Get:611 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 lintian all 2.5.45 [1,036 kB]
No messages about "Unpacking" or "Setting up" of lintian are to see, though.
I meanwhile learned that i discussed this with my sponsor Dominique Dumont
in february when i bumped to 3.9.7. Since 3.9.7 was new then, we expected
lintian to change its expectations soon after.

Yep. That's the address i got from Dominique, together with
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/upgrading-checklist.txt
which tells me that i can safely claim to comply to 3.9.8.

I intend to build for Sid on a Sid qemu-system-x86_64 VM (hosted by Jessie).
That's why i wonder why lintian still expects 3.9.6.
Trying to apply what i learned today:
# dpkg -l lintian
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

ii lintian 2.5.40.2 all Debian package checker
But dpkg --configure --pending does not do anything.
So i try
# apt-get install lintian
...
Preparing to unpack .../lintian_2.5.45_all.deb ...
Unpacking lintian (2.5.45) over (2.5.40.2) ...
Processing triggers for man-db (2.7.5-1) ...
Setting up lintian (2.5.45) ...
Configuration file '/etc/lintianrc'
...
*** lintianrc (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? n
The output of dpkg -l did not change much
# dpkg -l lintian
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

ii lintian 2.5.45 all Debian package checker
But nevertheless now debuild -S does not complain about the freshly
changed "Standards-Version: 3.9.8" as it did before i installed
lintian manually.
Have a nice day :)
