Noted. This really needs to become a streamlined process i.e. whenever a new policy is published, debian-policy and lintian get pushed into Unstable at the same time, and Lintian immediately updated on all applicable hosts. Otherwise, Lintian generates false positives on newer-standards-version and also misses new things it should check to match compliance with the new standard, all of which needlessly complicates package maintainers' job.
