I just hit this problem again now when trying to install Skype. This is
a widespread issue. Someone on Google+ suggested this is due to a policy
change in lintian... should this bug be directed at that instead?

** Summary changed:

- Cannot install Google Chrome or Atom debs due to "bad quality" error
+ Cannot install common third-party debs due to "bad quality" error

** Description changed:

  When I try to install the official deb packages for Google Chrome or
  Atom, I get an error in the Software Center saying the package is of bad
  quality and should not be installed. For example, the details given for
  Atom read:
  
  "Lintian check results for /home/christopher/Downloads/atom-amd64.deb:
  Unknown tag "binary-file-compressed-with-upx" in profile "ubuntu/aptdaemon" at /usr/bin/lintian line 1661."
  
  It complains about binary-file-compressed-with-upx in the details for
  the Chrome package, too.
