lint:api-last-release job fails since updating to running on EL8

It looks like the lint:api-last-release job has started failing since it was updated to run on EL8, for example:

https://git.ligo.org/adam-mercer/lalsuite/-/jobs/3476694

Looking at the job output there is:

=== stderr ===
ERROR: requires Universal Ctags to work properly
ERROR: missed debug-info file liblal.so.20.3.3-7.5.0-1.el8.x86_64.debug linked from gnu_debuglink (try --search-debuginfo=DIR option)
ERROR: can't find debug info in object(s)

The ctags package is installed, but it appears that RL8 uses excuberant-ctags and not universal-ctags, not sure if this is the reason for the fault, or whether there's another issue?
