Package: lintian
Version: 2.114.0
Severity: important

I tried running lintian on a full amd64 build of linux.  lintian
allocated about 23 GiB of VM and then was OOM-killed before generating
any output.

I notice that <https://lintian.debian.org/sources/linux> has no
information, probably because of this.

This is a regression in lintian, but I don't know how long ago it
happened.

Ben.
