Smartass, where is this documented? Not in debian-policy. Not in
dpkg-doc. Not, as far as I can tell, in the developer's guide.
Implementing something and not telling about it doesn't do anybody any
good.

Note that mentioning it on a mailling list and/or IRC channel doesn't
count as documentation. It needs to be in one of the permanent, commonly
read guides.
