Dear Release Team,
Please consider unblocking lintian 2.15.0 for buster (from 2.9.1). This
was specifically requested in #929577 by Mattia Rizzollo:
> I'd appreciate if you lintian maintainers could properly file unblock
> requests and get the version in buster updated as well.
>
> I know that most of your changes don't respect the freeze policy, but
> given that on February the release team granted an exception, maybe
> they will again.
>
> My position here comes mainly as a mentors.debian.net maintainer,
> where we are now running buster, and apparently we now have a 3-
> months old lintian due to this, whereas stretch-bpo would have been
> more updated…
Unfortunately, the changes are kinda big and there is no real way of
picking out the relevant changes, if that even is a concept. Is
"lintian" perhaps special? There's an argument that it should be
handled somewhat seperately but I can also see merit in not giving
anything preferential treatment.

[ Chris Lamb ]
* t/bin/runtests: Correct equality operator preventing the correct
parsing of --onlyrun="" used when (eg.) executing autopkgtests and

argument when building test packages. (Closes: #929430)

regarding Rules-Requires-Root. (Closes: #929428)

improve grammar in the description of testsuite-autopkgtest-missing.
