The automatic lintian checks here:

https://lintian.debian.org/

are only performed on the latest version of a given package...

... but nothing prevents anyone to run lintian (which is a program in
a package of the same name) on each and every of the packages in
stable (or only on the packages installed by default) and share the
results.

Thanks.
