I suggest that instead of abandoning it, we should bump the lintian
message to a warning.
Is not I: (info) even lower priority than W: (warning) ?
I do not think it is displayed by default:
from lintian(1):
-I, --display-info
Display informational ("I:") tags as well. They are
normally suppressed.
I believe you've misunderstood - Ian is suggesting *raising* the level
of the tag, not lowering it.
