Please allow me a stupid question early in the morning. This linking
issue seems to be something that can be checked automatically. Does
lintian check for it? Having such a check would probably be more
effective than a policy change in getting things fixed, though the
policy change sounds good too. (I'm not familiar enough with the issue,
however, to formally second.)
