Lintian includes non-free packages now.

Basically, I try to avoid having Lintian take a position on a point of
active controversy, since from the Lintian perspective this just makes
people annoyed at Lintian and leads to them not using it, which hurts the
project for all the things that Lintian looks at that aren't
controversial. Because of that, Lintian tends to be fairly conservative
on anything that people seem to be debating (although we don't always
manage).
