Copying the maintainer of binutils-mingw-w64 in hope of input.

The tag downgrade has not been released. We would appreciate input
from the maintainer of binutils-mingw-w64 about the future of this
tag. The remedy Lintian suggests is clearly insufficient.

I am not sure one should fiddle with those bits, after all. The
binutils seem to set them when appropriate. Perhaps their maintainer
knows?
