        Then I suggest that the proposer or the seconders do something
 about it soon.

        Umm, I have a little problem with this statement, as it
 stands. The implication (and perhaps I am mis interpreting this)
 seems to be that the policy documents are merely extended
 documentation for dpkg and friends; and dpkg can change behaviour and
 policy must follow suit.

        I hope that is not what you meant to imply.

 I suppose some of the variation between Boston drivers and the rest
 of the country is due to the progressive Massachusetts Driver
 Education Manual which I happen to have in my top desk drawer.  Some
 of the Tips for Better Driving are worth considering, to wit:
 [173.15b]: "When competing for a section of road or a parking space,
 remember that the vehicle in need of the most body work has the
 right-of-way."  [141.2a]: "Although it is altogether possible to fit
 a 6' car into a 6' parking space, it is hardly ever possible to fit a
 6' car into a 5' parking space."  [105.31]: "Teenage drivers believe
 that they are immortal, and drive accordingly. Nevertheless, you
 should avoid the temptation to prove them wrong."
