Ok, let me try again since "or whatever"'s too vague for you.

There are two valid reasons for a bug report (of severity > wishlist):

1. A package is broken. It does not work, or it does not install, or it 
   breaks other packages that depend on it or use it, etc.

2. A package is in violation of policy.

Can we both agree with that statement? I would like to find I agree with you
at some level.

Of course, you know I'm going to add:

There is no need to add an item to policy if a violation of said item would
allow a bug report to be filed for reason #1 above.

(At this point I just wonder if you understand what I'm saying, whether or
not you agree with it. If you do I'm content to shut up and stop repeating
it.)
