I periodically (semi-monthly) generate a small collection of automatically
generated bug reports detailing packages with new upstream versions
available. I generate these by looking at what is available on sunsite. This
is an example of an automated bug reporting process which does not fit in
lintian. Thus, I don't favor #3.
