It is possible that the website used a different version of lintian to you.

Install the latest version of lintian from unstable and run lintian on
the .changes file, which allows it to check the .deb as well as the
.dsc.

I tend to just call lintian from the source directory rather than
passing it any files, this means that lintian will automatically find
the right files to check.
I also tend to enable the options in the config instead of the command-line:
$ cat ~/.lintianrc
info=yes
display-info=yes
display-experimental=yes
pedantic=yes
show-overrides=yes
color=auto
verbose=yes
