Hi,
I've added debian-policy@l.d.o to recipients as I believe this either
warrants an exception for debian installer packages or maybe this should
be redfined for all.

I've not really made up my mind of what I think about the general case,
I do think there are some merrits knowing/documenting human maintainers.
I also do think that this doesnt make that much sense for d-i packages.
(And I also think that policy should be changed (and not merely ignored)
if we find that we disagree with whats written in it.)
Shall I file a bug against debian-policy?
