That doesn't seem right. We can assume that someone packaging on a
Debian system (i.e. running lintian from Debian) is preparing a Debian
package, and someone on Ubuntu, running Ubuntu's lintian, is targetting
Ubuntu.

Therefore, the check as-is is valid, and quite useful: if someone is
confused and puts an Ubuntu target in a Debian package, this will be
detected by lintian.

Yeah, that was my reaction too -- I think this is one of those places
where Debian and Ubuntu really want to be (slightly) distinct.
