These lintian checks are a good start, but they are just heuristics that cannot detect how documentation will behave when loaded into a browser or the other appropriate documentation viewer. Especially for documentation with scripting languages and or interactive features. Another thing to do would be to load the documentation in the most appropriate viewer, interact with it in expected ways and monitor for network activity or other data leaking mechanisms (eg WebBluetooth).
