Per e.g. the discussion on #debian-devel on 2024-04-01, this specific
package is older than even that. Per the same discussion, we don't have
(or at least couldn't find) an *official* reason for that, only
speculation.
But, sure, running lintian from stable on packages for unstable can also
cause problems up to autorejects.
