Your argument revolves around the fact that lintian is now broken. As a
matter of fact, lintian has already been fixed in CVS for that, so after
the next upload of lintian, the argument that this affects *all*
packages is not valid anymore.

I'm confident that the lintian maintainers won't wait long with their
new version.
