On which Debian release have you run lintian? On Debian stable? (I
guess so, because the deprecated "git buildpackage" no more works on
Unstable/Testing. You need to use "gbp buildpackage" instead there.)

If so, you need to install lintian from backports. Lintian from
backports follows Lintian from Unstable/Testing rather quickly.

Additionally, lintian runs more tests when run against the .changes
file (and not the .debs); and lintian has some nice command line /
configuration options to enable additional tests (informational,
pedantic, experimental).

Cheers,
gregor
