The FTP Masters publish the list of tags they do not accept. [1] The privacy tags are not on it. Lintian offers a command line option ('--ftp-master-rejects') to check prospective uploads against the list. For convenience, we also dedicated a page to it on our website. [2] When this bug was filed over seven years ago, the potential rejection of uploads supported an elevated severity. The cited reason holds no longer. Somewhat sadly, the privacy topic also does not resonate with contributors. [3][4] As another point of evidence Bug#765503—filed half a year later and then merged into this report—reached us with a more appropriate 'normal' severity. [5] In consideration of the changed circumstances, the present report is likewise downgraded to 'normal'.
