Oh, and to clarify: I completely agree. This is, IMO, the biggest missing
feature in Debian at the moment.
But the way to go about ensuring that feature is implemented is for the
people who care about it to send in patches and talk to the maintainers of
packages who have problems with the patches sent in. There's obviously
a whole bunch of people interested in this: subscribe to debian-qa,
make a list of packages, and start fixing them.
Imagining that changing policy is like waving a magic wand and'll suddenly
make everything all wonderful and work just the way you want it to with
no effort on your part is a delusion. Forget it, and move on already.
Cheers,
aj
