When building an Android project, how to disable linting for a specific build variant?

Question

I saw this excellent idea of creating a build variant called staging that is based on release and hence benefits from ART optimisations, but disables minify and shrinkResources for a faster build:

staging {
    initWith release
    minifyEnabled false
    shrinkResources false
}

The problem is that, because it is based on the release variant, it enables lintVitalAnalyseStaging task, which hogs most of the build time.

Is there a way to disable lintVitalAnalyse for just the staging variant without disabling it for other build types?
