A bug on 'general' will be fowarded to debian-devel anyway and I suspect
that the response won't be as favourable as could be. There will
probably be a lot of opposition anyway, but IMHO a normal posting to
-devel announcing the filings would be the better way.
Then again, I think solving this problem in another way is preferable.
