The same characterisation could be given to other changes that raise the
quality of software in Debian (e.g. ensuring that commands are
accompanied by man pages, or that the package synopsis should not be
repeated in the extended description).

Improving quality may be strictly unnecessary, and may be not directly
productive, but that doesn't mean there's no good reason to expect it.
