[Debian-salsa-ci] Using Salsa-CI as pre-upload QA for Bullseye and Buster uploads: Lintian and Piuparts

[Chris Lamb]

Hi Otto,

Until a few minutes ago, no, I did not test using the latest version
of Lintian from unstable. Rather, I was using the version in
buster/bullseye/stretch instead, as that was what was so easily
available inside the chroot.

However, though, I've just spent a few minutes updating my setup such
that I will use the version from unstable instead.

When I was maintaining Lintian, that was my intention. But it was
never perfect in that regard.

Hope this helps.
