This has been brought to my attention this morning as well :)

We can recommend it in the policy indeed (read: please patch the policy
accordingly), but I feel is more an issue of upstreams since we mostly
invoke upstream install targets.

What about wording it as: "you should ship .cmx since ..., if upstream's
install does not do that please push upstream a suitable patch" or
something like that ...

Cheers.
