There is no specific switch since as far as I know warnings are
displayed by default. In any case it might be helpful to have the
following:
$ cat ~/.lintianrc
color=always
display-experimental=no
display-info=yes
pedantic=no
## show-overrides=yes
Make sure you always are using the latest lintian from unstable.
For me the following waring remains:
W: r-cran-estimability: debian-changelog-has-wrong-weekday 2015-07-29 is a Wednesday
N:
N: The date in the changelog entry is not consistent with the actual
N: weekday. Either the date is wrong or the weekday is wrong.

N: To avoid problems like this, consider using a tool like dch(1) or
N: date(1) to generate the date. Example:
N:
N: $ date -R -ud '2013-11-05 23:59:59'
N: Tue, 05 Nov 2013 23:59:59 +0000

It seems you are doing manual editing of d/changelog. If you
do so you should insert the output of
date -R
as timestamp. It is better to use dch for editing. I'm using
dch -i # create a new changelog entry
dch # keep on editing
dch -r # final edit
This saves you from this kind of problems. (For vcdextra I fixed this -
but now I'll leave it to you for "pedagocial reasons" ;-))
