Ah right, thanks for that clarification.

Bastien's original post specifically mentioned a change between 1.27 and
1.27.1, so I wonder if the initial lintian breakage he experienced was
actually triggered by the change in -T behavior between those two
versions.  

(But I don't know enough about lintian internals to know off hand if
-T actually does come into play...)
