I would not mind a *single* bug in debian-policy which affects base-files,
using a little bit more friendly subject, for example:

debian-policy: PLEASE REPORT BUGS ABOUT COMMON-LICENSES TO DEBIAN-POLICY

I leave the details to the policy group if they agree.

(So, the advertisement is formally done by debian-policy, it would
show in the base-files bug page, and it would be a single bug).

Thanks.
