Neither an objection from myself as former adequate QA uploader nor
from the Lintian team.

Static linking is bad for security updates. I think that's the main if
not the only reason which speaks against Go. But it wouldn't be the
first Go package in Debian and the Debian Security Team seems to be
able to live with it. And having a useful adequate would be nice.

Lintian is 95% Perl. It has about 300 lines of Python (in the test
suite in dummy python packages) and about 83'000 lines of Perl.
Lintian-Brush is written in Python, but a separate project
independently developed by Jelmer.
