Near the end, it suggests not doing it that way. Instead, it suggests what I think is discussed at http://lists.debian.org/debian-policy/2000/debian-policy-200011/threads.html#00183 but it's not in the policy manual yet. Bugs.debian.org/77960 seems to be open about it. It seems like a good idea. Most seemed to agree that it was a good idea, but disliked some implementation details. I don't think any changed the control fields substantially. There's reference to a previous thread which I've not seen yet. Why isn't it policy yet?

Would working Bugs and Origin support make any non-free supporters less worried?
