I have one: it's probably quite useless to package it. You want to make
sure you don't make things worse, so you won't want to touch your
/var/lib/dpkg/status too much by installing this, while on the other
hand people will probably not install this package 'just in case'.

It's a nice thing to have, but I think it'll require another
distribution method to be fully useful.
