My personal opinion on this is that we should follow
standards -- and that we should standardize on current standards,
after a transition period in line with *DEBIAN* releases, not solaris
releases.
Following ancient, and obsolete standards is not always
feasible, and even when it is, it carries extra code around which has
to be maintained, and gets in the way of refactoring. So, as far as
339085 is concerned, I side with the maintainer opinion.
