As outlined during our annual meeting at DebConf19 (no report yet, but
you can check the gobby notes, or the export at [0]), I worked on this
issue during our DebCamp sprint [1] [2].
Since it is apparently quite simple to fix in many cases beside
Module::Install, I started to fix a bunch of them and started to draft a
(pkg-perl) policy on this.
The policy change proposal lies in the branch `policy_on_inc` on salsa [3]
The idea is to finalize the change wording, and to write a lintian check
to check this. The check would probably not most exception at first and
just draw attention to the issue.
Please have a look on the proposed change and give feedback!
Cheers,
