Tiger does not check deb-policy, it's a (rather old) UNIX
host-based security scanner. It will check for things (it thinks) are
potential problems.
There are, however, some tests specific to Linux and I coded two
new ones specifically for Debian. One is like 'debsums' (actually, debsums
is much faster, it seems I did not code it that well), and one is the
testing for security advisories (I am positive that there isn't currently
a tool to do this).

Umm... it seems not (since it was sent after the freeze).
