I think that some of these checks are ‘bikeshedding’ my work as a packager,
enforcing a parallel and undocumented Policy, and lessering the usefuleness of
Lintian now that some Lintian warnings are FTPmaster errors and vice-versa.

I will not oppose further, but I think that this effort is mostly a waste of
time and increasing of bureaucracy. It also creates a more complex mechanism at
our archive level, which raises the bar for new contributors.

I really feel sorry for the Lintian maintianers who will get most of the flames
in the future.

Best,
