Agree. This bug is not really for inclusion now. It is part of the proposal
(implementation part).
Also, I'm not a DD. I've done this because I think it is important and this is
in the NM tasks (http://wiki.debian.org/NMTasks).
The choice about including it is to DD. If I have more feedback (or after lenny
release ?) I can send a mail to debian-devel@.
It may also be flagged experimental or notes
(http://lintian.debian.org/manual/ch2.html).
