That is like treating debian policy a holy book that is perfect till eternity and that will not be changed. I agree it makes sense or packages that are going to be installed by users directly. What I'm asking for is to consider a change in the policy when the package is expected to be installed only as a dependency of some other package. We could probably just add some additional metadata in debian/control or have apt and other tools hide these packages by default (there was another suggestion like this earlier in this list).
