Thanks Niels,

After some tweaking latest revision of the branch
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bhavi/ubuntu-app-review-board/lintian-arb_profile
works fine at runtime with namespace checks.

A small question I have here, Is there a way to integrate source
package tests in lintian for example in arb-lint the sourcepackages.py
file checks the source tar.gz file and as far as I know lintian is
used on .changes file or dsc or the deb after generating the same from
dpkg-buildpackage,

Thanks a lot again Niels for all your inputs.

Regards,
