There's really no problem for a lot of them, becuase the lintian-produced
bugs mostly have a ciritical and a non-critical component. I fix the
critical component, and then send a message to control@bugs, downgrading the
severity to normal, and cc it to xxxx@bugs, and list my non-maintainer
release diff there. I think that covers all my bases quitre nicely, with a
single email.
