And this error is exactly what it emits. Lint cannot without any external
info (e.g an MP) determine which of the (presumably identical branches
pkg/debian/{buster,sid} are the intended target and they refer to different
series (which might imply different semantics bases upon which branch is
selected). Perhaps the check should be on the treeish though? Or an
override that says multiple same-tree targets are fine. Although without
looking at the code I thought that was already the check.
