It seems neither to me.  The fact that a lot of maintainers are likely
ignorant of the details of maintainer script invocation (this isn't a
rip on other developers -- I personally went for far longer than I
should I have without a good understanding of what is now Policy 6.5)
may make it seem that way, but I see nothing wrong with the language
above.
