Great, but what about lintian errors. For some of my packages lintian says "postinst-does-not-set-usr-doc-link, prerm-does-not-remove-usr-doc-link" and
this is not true (BTW, it depends of lintian version).

Please not warnings, just errors. Some warnings may be doubtful due to
lintian's imperfection (and sometimes even errors). And maybe it would better
to submit lintian errors to maintaners only, at least for the some testing period
of LBR (useful for creating lintian overrides by maintaners in their packages :o).
