It's reduculous to have debian-policy and - with ~170 messages - debian-dpkg
spammed with that mails. They can be helpful when there are only a few
of them and one can react. If you receive tons of them, they don't make
sense anymore.
It would be more helpful to investigate the problems, bring them up on
-devel, develop a solution, upload the patch, decrease the severity to
fixed etc. This would be helpful.
