I think it's a bit too strong to say that it's completely unambiguous.
I think it's more than no one cares enough, given that it's such a
small hoop to jump to include a 'Hello World' in with it. Put it this
way: insofar as it's actually an inconvenience it's a problem. The
consensus is that it's not an inconvenience. One could argue that a
debian package necessarily contains more than just the work itself,
and so qualifies.
That said, I agree that the consensus is that it's not a problem.
(Not a DD either -- nor likely to become one soon with twins on the
way!)
