\o/! many thanks for that, it is much appreciated that we finally have
an automated filter.

Great, thanks; I was afraid this could interfere with uploads to stable.

Yes, please add wrong-file-owner-uid-or-gid to the list of "errors"
(although this one makes sense to be applied on a per-binary basis).
And why not FSSTND-dir-in-usr?
package-contains-info-dir-file detects some cases where it would
currently prevent the package from being installed, so its addition to
the warnings list would be great.
