I think it's necessary. If the package maintainer thinks about it and takes
the necessary action before initial release, that's great. If someone finds
the discrepancy, reports it as a bug, and it gets fixed, that's ok. If it
gets reported as a bug and isn't fixed, then I'd get frustrated...
I freely admit that this level of work has kept me from finishing the
packaging of a couple of things I'd like to release to the community. I
suppose I could relax my own standards and put the bits out since they'd
probably be considered useful even if the docs and post installation config
automation aren't perfect, but I suspect I'll just try to make time to get
them right before universal entropy is maximized...
