Ah, I wasn't aware of that.

Well, one reason is that lintian/2.115.3 is incorrectly complaining
about [many packages], stating that they declare compatibility with a
non-existing Debian Policy version.
This obviously happens, because a new Policy version (4.6.2) has been
released after lintian/2.115.3, and all the updated packages are seen
by lintian/2.115.3 as wrong...
