Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this is something that I get caught up in my workflow around every release - having to switch to uploading to experimental for some packages rather than unstable. I really should have paid more attention to that, rather than creating this mess. :-/ It's going to be tricky to get this resolved in time before the removal of lintian-brush from testing. Of the reverse dependencies, routine-update can hopefully be updated easily (I've already pinged Andreas) to skip lintian-brush and silver-platter should probably not make it into bullseye (I've just filed a removal request for it).
