Can we please finally drop those checks? You'll find above the green
light from Sean regarding lintian's possibly moving ahead of changes in
Policy; since December, 5.6.11 even ends with:
udebs and source packages that only produce udebs do not use
Standards-Version.
lintian's insistance on this topic led to wrong changes getting
committed to dozens of repositories… :(
