This bug was fixed in the package lintian - 2.4.2ubuntu1

---------------
lintian (2.4.2ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable. (LP: #599372) Remaining changes:
    - Don't warn about a symlinked changelog file in Ubuntu due to CDBS.

lintian (2.4.2) unstable; urgency=low

  The "Policy 3.9.0" release.

  * Summary of tag changes:
    + Added:
      - arch-wildcard-in-binary-package
      - bad-provided-package-name
      - conflicts-with-version
      - copyright-refers-to-deprecated-bsd-license-file
      - init.d-script-depends-on-unknown-virtual-facility
      - team-upload-has-incorrect-version-number
      - xc-package-type-in-debian-control (pedantic)
    + Removed:
      - arch-any-in-binary-pkg (now in arch-wildcard-in-binary-package)
      - package-type-in-debian-control

  * checks/changes-file.desc:
    + [RA] Add references for file-size-mismatch-in-changes-file and
      checksum-mismatch-in-changes-file.
  * checks/control-file{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Remove package-type-in-debian-control now that dpkg-dev handles
      it as desired by the d-i team.  xc-package-type-in-debian-control
      replaces it as a pedantic check to encourage switching to the
      official name.  Thanks, Raphael Hertzog.
    + [RA] Add reference for debian-control-with-duplicate-fields.
  * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Deprecate references to /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD in
      debian/copyright following the change in Policy 3.8.5.
  * checks/fields{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Allow Breaks without a version if the broken package is a
      virtual package.
    + [RG] Check for invalid package names in provided (virtual)
      packages.
    + [RG] Exclude dash from the depends-on-essential-package checks, as
      per discusion in debian-devel.  (Closes: #587209)
    + [RA] Allow architecture wildcards in build relations and in the
      Architecture field of binary and source packages.  (Closes: #582804)
    + [RA] Rename arch-any-in-binary-pkg to arch-wildcard-in-binary-package
      and diagnose any architecture wildcard, not just "any".
    + [RA] Warn of using Conflicts with a version, which should normally
      be Breaks instead, but only at wild-guess certainty for now.
  * checks/huge-usr-share{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Count file size from the tar listing rather than using du.  The
      results of du vary based on file system and other factors and make
      the tag difficult to test.
  * checks/init.d{,.desc}:
    + [RG] Check for init.d scripts depending on unknown virtual
      facilities.
    + [RA] Remove checkroot from the list of scripts that should use a
      virtual dependency since $local_fs is not quite the same and some
      packages (cryptsetup) care about the difference.  (Closes: #580082)
  * checks/manpages{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Run man page checks using the en_US.UTF-8 locale now that we
      guarantee it exists.  Should hopefully fix occasional problems with
      col complaining about bad multibyte characters.  (Closes: #575661)
  * checks/menu-format.desc:
    + [RA] Fix typo in long description of duplicated-key-in-desktop-entry.
      Thanks, Niels Thykier.  (Closes: #580700)
  * checks/menus:
    + [RG] Recognise call to update-menus when using 'exec.'
    + [RA] Skip Haskell library documentation when warning about
      documentation not registered with doc-base.  Patch from Erik de
      Castro Lopo.  (Closes: #586877)
  * checks/nmu{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Recognize team uploads and do not treat them like NMUs.  Patch
      from Charles Plessy.  (Closes: #582741)
  * checks/rules.desc:
    + [RA] Add reference for debian-rules-makemaker-prefix-is-deprecated.
  * checks/scripts:
    + [RG] Correctly handle variables at the beginning of a call to
      dpkg-divert.  Thanks, Andreas Beckmann.  (Closes: #586984)

  * collection/objdump-info:
    + [RG] Disable etch compatibility code.
  * collection/strings:
    + [RG] Correctly handle ELF binaries with whitespaces in their name.
      (LP: #540342)

  * data/fields/architectures:
    + [RG] Refresh against dpkg 1.15.7.2.  (Closes: #581314, #584743)
  * data/fields/virtual-packages:
    + [RA] Update to current unstable and add the old xserver-xorg video
      and input virtual packages.
  * data/files/locale-codes:
    + [RG] Refresh to reflect change to private/refresh-locale-codes.
  * data/files/triplets:
    + [RG] Refresh against dpkg 1.15.7.2.
  * data/init.d/virtual_facilities
    + [RG] New list of virtual facilities that exist in the archive.
  * data/output/ftp-master-fatal:
    + [RA] Remove arch-any-in-binary-pkg.
  * data/output/manual-references:
    + [RA] Update against latest Debian Policy and devref.
  * data/spelling/corrections:
    + [RG] Add more spelling corrections.
  * data/spelling/corrections-case:
    + [RG] Add capitalization correction for OAuth.  (Closes: #582353)
  * data/standards-version/release-dates:
    + [RA] Add Debian Policy 3.9.0.

  * frontend/lintian:
    + [RA] Set a PATH of /bin:/usr/bin if PATH is completely unset.
      Thanks, Carsten Hey.

  * lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
    + [RG] Correctly handle ELF binaries with whitespaces in their name.
  * lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:
    + [RA] Rather than allowing only a package name or a substvar, allow
      substvars mixed into the package name.  (Closes: #580494)
  * lib/Lintian/Schedule.pm:
    + [ADB] Add missing "use Lintian::Output", required for the use of
      warning().  (Closes: #583555)

  * private/refresh-insserv-data:
    + [RG] New script to collect insserv data from the archive.
  * private/refresh-locale-codes:
