Policy folks,
The question here is about Lintian's check interpreter-without-predep,

maintainer script declare a pre-dependency, not just a dependency, on that
interpreter.
The current description of that tag says:

The BTS has nothing to do with deciding whether particular bugs are
release critical or not.

That's because it is a real package. Also, you could have asked on the
debian-policy mailing list.

If you mean do I agree that you should file a bug against
www.debian.org because it doesn't say anything specific about filing

I think what José is reporting is that in his opinion the BTS (and
actually all pseudopackages available in the BTS) should be considered
