it was done in the master branch,
  http://git.linuxminded.nl/?p=pkg-grass/grass;a=commit;h=d183a32b883dbad88e0d751d030e177dd90926a0

tagging is currently incomplete, but known todo and discussed privately.

er, you really think we don't do that and know exactly what they are?
We've been busy packaging this software for more than a dozen years!
Not masking false positives and "real but won't-fix in this major
version" lintian issues is not a bug IMHO.

No doubt the main rules file could use a bit of a refresh here and there
(supporting 'make -j' would be nice), but let's continue this
conversation on the DebainGIS list, not in a ticket about transitioning
to wxpython3.0.

Hamish
