Could we go for “wishlist” instead?
I know that switching to reproducible builds sounds like a major
shift in Debian's current practices but we already have way more
packages reproducible that one might expect.
The following wiki page describe the last large scale experiment that
was done: <https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/Rebuild20140126>
67% out of the 6887 packages that were tested were reproducible. 103 of
them failed due to one or more timestamp in gzip files.
I think “wishlist” is more appropriate because we are trying to get the
the archive reproducible and asking interested maintainers for help.
I don't think this fall under a “particular Debian packaging style”
as worded in the man page about `--pedantic`.
In any cases, my dear Lintian maintainers, I trust you to sort things
out appropriately. :)
