Which are both DEAD. Both decided by indecision and silence to not

So do we call the tech committe to force a decision?
As a note I don't think it is the dpkg maintainers choice to make

technical aspect, but I think the debian developers as a whole have
the right to make policy that even dpkg maintainers must follow.
