It was late, you're right. Well, you're wrong, but you're right. The
*real* reason not to use this is because it's really more for end-users
and sysadmins, like dpkg-divert. It'd add a dpkg entry that the package
shouldn't be shipping, and chmod is right. My bad.

It's in the packaging manual, and it's been accepted. You should be
taking it more seriously. It's perhaps not a requirement, but it's a
good thing to have.
