If one doesn't appear to learn what an Architecture: field does, and implements it incorrectly, that's a mistake. If one goes through the trouble of learning what a lintian override is, and implements that correctly, for the sole purpose of hiding an error provoked by a violation of Debian policy, that's saying "Debian policy sucks" in a much more clear manner than a simple statement to the same effect.

What is the line which will distinguish sound opinion from calomny? I'd agree that -project is not really an appropriate venue because it's too general, but this example wasn't one of those corner cases. -- 2.
