Why vote on something no one actually wants? It just makes the ballot
more complex and has the potential to add confusion and wording problems
for no gain.
If it's a viable option, it will get enough seconds in its own right. If
it doesn't, it's so unpopular that there's no point in voting on it.
The only case where I could see it making sense to second options one
personally doesn't support is if one believes for some reason that there
is a huge disconnect between the people reading debian-vote and seconding
proposals and the project as a whole, so huge that an option that would
win in the larger vote doesn't have enough advocates reading debian-vote
to get sufficient seconds. This seems unlikely to me.
