Bug Description

Please backport lintian 2.5.10 (main) from quantal to precise.

Reason for the backport:
========================
Having the latest lintian checks for packages is useful.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s quantal -d precise lintian

* precise:
[-] Package builds without modification
[X] lintian installs cleanly and runs

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of lintian. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new lintian. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new lintian installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.

lintian 2.5.9 build without modifications, but lintian 2.5.10 need a small modification to resolve the build dependencies (patch attached). lintian 2.5.10 needs a newer version of hardening-wrapper (bug #1031683).
