There have been updates to the other packages that relate to
lintian-brush - both dependencies (python-tr, debmutate,
upstream-ontologist, buildlog-consultant) and reverse dependencies
((silver-platter); we'd have to either roll those back in unstable as
well or instead patch lintian-brush with a set of changes to lintian-brush that isn't really a
roll back.

(I appreciate that some of those changes probably should have gone to
experimental)
