No, this is wrong. I already modified the code behind
packages.debian.org[1] for this to not happen (and I already explained
this earlier in debian-devel[2]). The only thing we are waiting currently
for is a lintian upload where #871575 [3] is fixed (and then we need the
backport to be installed on ftp-master).
