It would make more sense to block unconditionally (regression or not) on a whitelist of lintian errors the release team does not want to have in the next release.
This is what we envision at the moment, we'll be in control of which lintian tags we want to block on.
Regarding the implementation, instead of waiting on another external service that runs lintian it might be an option that britney automatically adds an superficial autopkgtest to every package running something line "lintian --fail-on error".
We already depend on udd, so that's not new. And even if we would pursue, how do you envision interaction of britney2 with autopkgtest to add that test? That's not supported on any of the levels, so that's quite a big change. And again, we only want to block on particular tags, not everything that lintian thinks it's wise to report.
