Yes.

I'm not sure. I suspect that we didn't wipe the tag list and rebuild it
from scratch the last time that we upgraded Lintian and those tags are
old, since the lintian on lintian.debian.org also doesn't report this tag
for the current version of your package. Whatever is going on seems to be
a lintian.debian.org artifact.

Not so far as I can tell. Running Lintian manually on lintian.debian.org
gives your package a clean bill of health.
