Personally I think it's cool. 99% of the unsubscribe problems [on the
lists I run at least] are 1) Not knowing where to send the request and
2) not knowing how to spell unsubscribe. While the syntax of the trailer
is sort of catered to those that at least have a couple braincells and
probably don't need it, it still gives the two important parts:
unsubscribe
debian-user-reqest@lists.debian.org
That's all you really need to say.
