Okay, just realised I was wrong about the shortcut, as I do have
/usr/bin/pylint3.6. My bad.

However, it didn't pull python38-pylint in for me. An interesting thing
just happened when I opened setup again though: it says pending
operations are to remove "pylint" and install "python38-pylint". When I
told it I wanted to keep "pylint" I got a dependency issue, see attached
screenshot.

In case it's helpful to know, I had the old "pylint" package installed
already and upgraded it to your test version.
