Likely due to some additions to Files-Excluded in MR86 (20230804), it now does 
pass. Pretty sure we'll still hit that limit soon (TM) though.
I did extend d/README.source in that MR with instructions to build and run 
lintian so everyone can do it locally.

Small correction: qcom-soc no longer recommends atheros as the 'wlanmdsp' file 
was the (sole) reason for the recommends, so that can be dropped.

I still think the separation is rather arbitrary and unlikely to be useful 
(going forward).

I'm currently working on an update for upstream version 20230919, based
upon MR86 (Release 20230804) [1], which itself is based upon MR85
(Update to 20230625) [2] and I'm running into some major issues:

1) Salsa's CI now always fails as the (archive) size is now too big for
   it to handle it.
2) Upstream introduced a new keyword RawFile to 'list files that must
   not be compressed'. I'm guessing one or more script files need to be
   updated for it?
3) Upstream commit a0142c57045701b7557c3060af5c4246c420e4d8 titled
   "ath10k/WCN3990: move wlanmdsp to qcom/sdm845" would mean moving
   entries from ``debian/config/atheros`` to ``debian/config/qcom-soc``
   and adding a 'recommends' field to ``atheros``'s ``defines`` file.
   Which means that qcom-soc recommends atheros and atheros recommends
   qcom-soc. Technically doable, but it raises the question whether this
   separation still makes sense.
