Right now, Lintian's profiles just enable or disable tags. I am not
opposed to expanding their capabilities, but is it the right approach?

Should the version string for a Ubuntu package also be acceptable even
if Lintian ran on Debian?

Can Lintian tell the target OS without looking at the version string?
Maybe the changelog (except that would not work for UNRELEASED)?

Thanks!

Kind regards
