The patch attached to the original bug reports looks fine and still applies, so I'm just here to say: Seconded fwiw, this is a case of following old legacy cruft in policy being harmful so would appreciate this being fixed asap. IIRC I talked Ondřej out of following policy on this which also resulted in this bug report when we faced a deeper issue during stretch development timeframe (that ofcourse we should fix at the root of the problem rather than just hide by following outdated practises in every package on top). I'm thus happy this bug report has gotten its severity raised recently. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
