I proposed to get rid of those as they tend to confuse people. I
personally don't read either one, to be honest and apparently Asheesh
doesn't do so either. However, for the time being they are here so we
should really take care someone notices them - sorry about that.

While I fear, we're annoying other people, it's probably the best option
to send such questions to debian-mentors for now. Many people do anyway,
so you wouldn't be the first as you noted.

Yes, you are right. We're not running the QA plugin currently as it
doesn't do anything useful (yet). However the plugin architecture is
limited in many ways too, so we want to normalize the data plugins are
creating before working on the plugins itself again since that may yield
to API changes.

I am fine to enable the plugin as is with the stub code, as it does not
hurt either. If you only want to have the test_package_in_debian test,
that's fair enough.
I just tested your patch and successively committed it into our
repository [1]. We will announce it here on the mailing list, as soon as
we deploy a version which includes your change.
