Cygnus does. It is GNU that doesn't. So this change is more
important for GNU developers in general than for Cygnus' customers.
I'm sorry I didn't make this clear from the beginning. I hadn't
realized it myself when I re-started this discussion.

I too fear we'll never be able to drop the old behavior, since there
are packages out there that haven't had update releases for 5 years or
more. We shouldn't expect such packages to disappear, so, it would
not be unreasonable to retain some behavior in common with them. But
I probably wouldn't fight for that in, say, two years' time.
