In theory an appropriate resolution would be:
1) an interested person writes a script to detect the problem (already
done, I think) and runs it against packages in the lintian lab
(not done?)
2) after a quick discussion about appropriate severity, bugs are filed
against the affected packages
3) the bug against "general" is marked as blocked by those bugs and
used to track work writing e.g. a lintian check (well, that wouldn't
work here --- maybe a piuparts check or something?) to make sure
the problem doesn't regress in the future.
Of course that's only theory.
My two cents,
Jonathan
