reassign 254998 dpkg
thanks

        The fact that dpkg does not follow what the policy recommends
 is by no means a policy bug. It also is not clear that section 9.4
 applies to dpkg in the first place (dpkg is not an initscript). I
 understand the aesthetic motivation, but thefact that packages are
 sometimnes restarted during upgrades/installs and the dpkg output
 does not jell with initscript output does not imply that initscript
 output policy is somehow buggy. 

	So this is an aesthetic wishlist against dpkg at best, so
 reassigning there.
