Package: debian-policy Version: 4.2.1.4 The discussion in #913572 is just another instance of the following antipattern:
Submitter: program X does strange thing Y which is undesirable Maintainer: Y is not against policy I suggest adding something like this to s1.1, "Scope", as a new 3rd paragraph: This manual cannot and does not prohibit every possible bug or undesirable behaviour. The fact that something is not forbidden by Debian policy does not mean that it is not a bug, let alone that it is desirable. Questions not covered by policy should be evaluated on their merits.

If I emailed you from an address @fyvzl.net or @evade.org.uk, that is a private address which bypasses my fierce spamfilter.
