I don't see how this is uncommon..

And how can't lintian find that out? You probably are able to know
when  the command appears in a function, and after it you can look
whether it's called. "grep" (or something more sophisticated) for it,
don't allow () as for the definition. found -> thing used.

Besides that, you really want duplication of the command in every maintainer
script, thus needing to fix all for a given issue instead of one time :
