Proposal: Reject packages that violate policy



[Manoj:  I'm still a little lost on your BTS-proposal system.  I you want to
walk me though it, I'll redo this, contact me via private email or IRC]

I have just heard that, as strange as it sounds, it's not part of policy to
reject a package from incoming that violates policy.  THEREFORE, I propose that
it be made part of policy to reject from incoming packages that contain policy
errors and that the standard of measure be the program lintian.  Any package
with lintian *errors* be rejected.

This would not affect existing packages until they were uploaded to incoming
for some change.
