Lintian, with Nokia additions, is used by Nokia to do testing internally. 

I have set up a Maemian port of Lintian to lintian checks with Maemo specific tests. Much of lintian just does not apply to Maemo.

Work has stalled since the community process never really wanted to commit time to the development of maemian. I am leaving the debmaster position in June and hope to have more time to do more maemian work, but as it stands now, there is not much being done on maemian at the moment.
