I strongly suspect it was either a transitional issue or that bug has
already been fixed.  The Lintian postinst uses only coreutils and
localedef; if any of these were broken, Lintian would hardly be your
only issue.  I suspect that there may have been an issue in locales
(see LP: #885106[1]).

Newer versions of Lintian (2.5.5) will not generate an internal locale
with recent eglibc (>= 2.13), so the problems should have been mitigated
in newer versions of Lintian.
