Policy already requires this.  The only package in the archive for which
this is not already the case is "leave".

I don't like option #3 because it's something we'll be stuck with forever
and requires packagers update both debian/rules and debian/control to
configure things properly.  One of the reasons why I'm personally fond of
#4 is that it reduces our long-term complexity.  #3 increases our
long-term complexity, I think unnecessarily.
