Making it an I: tag means that Lintian is recommending that everyone use
the new format. Are we sure we're okay with that? If we are, that's
fine, but I think it's worth thinking about a bit first. I've not gotten
the impression that the new format has been adopted very widely outside of
a few scattered groups, so we're basically adding an I: tag for almost the
entire archive.
