Re: Does mentors' lintian have different tag severity?

I investigated this and can confirm the root cause: mentors.debian.net
runs bookworm's lintian (2.116.3) while most uploaders now build against
trixie (2.135) or sid. The version gap causes real confusion — for example,
newer-standards-version is a Warning on mentors but doesn't even exist in
current lintian, while out-of-date-standards-version (Info) only exists in
newer versions.

I've submitted a minimal merge request to make the lintian binary path
configurable via a LINTIAN_PATH setting:
