I do not, but then again not all Lintian tags have to be backed by 
Policy items. Some are also simply good practices that have been 
recommended for a while.

This tag has been around since 2009 (implemented in 
d187e5b9bf8a319b757afc4d299835f41f18b5e5) and if you wish for us to 
reconsider its existence, we would need other arguments than just not 
being based on a Policy item.

Cheers,
