Run lintian automatically as a linter
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to run lintian automatically during builds to validate output packages. Triaged and tracked in Jira (DEBCRAFT-63) but not yet implemented; existing lintian helper only installs override files, not runs validation.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue is properly triaged with a 'Status: Triaged' label, created by a maintainer, and has an internal Jira ticket (DEBCRAFT-63) for tracking. The feature is not yet implemented — the existing lintian helper (PR #153) only installs lintian-overrides files rather than running lintian validation. No evidence of abandonment or obsolescence; it remains a valid feature request.

PR #153 added the lintian helper that installs lintian-overrides files, which is a prerequisite/related step but does not implement the actual lintian validation requested in this issue.
