The released lintian does report the same details $ lintian -L =classification prottest_3.4.2+dfsg-3.dsc C: prottest source: rules-requires-root-implicitly C: prottest source: debian-build-system debhelper C: prottest source: source-format 3.0 (quilt) $ lintian --version Lintian v2.12.0~bpo9+1 FYI for prottest, you could set the locale detail LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 for the entire debian/rules rather than only for the dh call.
