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."
