Fuck no. You are the one who resorted to bureaucratic
shennaigans to convince dpkg maintainers to change the way it works,
rather than trying and convince them that your way is right.
Policy is not a way to make other people do what you think is
right by beating them on the head. Your complaint, really, is that
the bureaucrats did not jump up and say how high on your command, but
insisted that normal channels be used to resolve this.
