As the person who pushed and introduced pedantic support I always felt a bit hesitant regarding the highlighted statement, maybe I should bring this up on the lintian mailing list and ask Russ for his reasons behind it (maybe what he wanted to express could be paraphrased). If a check is wrong I don't think it should belong to the pedantic category, IMHO.
