We know about that warning. We started to discuss it when the team was
found, see
https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-lynx-maint/Week-of-Mon-20150209/000016.html

While I'm slightly in favour of such a split, there are team members
which think that lintian is overzealous here. There is also already a
(several years old and still open) bug report against lintian for
changing the thresholds of arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share:
