The reason is that it takes a few days to update the data, so it's
better to make an informed decision about it and not do it for releases
that are going to be superseded soon anyway.

I updated lintian on the worker. The results will get updated over the
next few days (probably 3 to 5 days).

Progress can be checked using, for example:
udd=> select lintian_version, count(distinct(source,version,package,package_version,architecture)) from lintian_logs group by lintian_version;
 lintian_version | count
-----------------+--------
 2.115.3         | 365203   <- that needs to get to 0
 2.116.2         |    224
(2 rows)

I'll check again in a few days and close when the data is migrated.
