This didn't fix the issue.  It is still reproducible by building linux
for amd64 and then running lintian over the resulting .changes file.

Running lintian over a single linux-image-<version>-amd64-dbg binary
package also shows the issue, but requires "only" about 12 GB of VM and
does complete on my development system.
