Per lists.debian.org/<821041fd-b980-4506-a35a-b9826fe04500@thykier.net>,dpkg will now flip the default for Rules-Requires-Root. Therefore,maintainers should no longer be prodded to set `Rules-Requires-Root` anymore when omitted.

Since trends.debian.net uses the tag in its graphs, I recommend keepingthe tag but turning it into a classification tag instead.


Best regards,
Niels
