I think it is fair to say that this is a policy violation, but it clearly isn't a *serious* policy violation, given its limited practical effect. I would ask GNOME maintainers to get this fixed and uploaded, ideally also into t-p-u. I'm going to file bugs against those packages not build-depending on gnome-pkg-tools, but still containing comment+blank line at the start of debian/control. For all those packages build-depending on gnome-pkg-tools, I could then liaise with the GNOME team to determine the best way forward. Best, Michael
