OK, I bite (although I regret it already…).
In case you really want to upload this to the archive, can you make it
clear in the package description that the packaging practices embodied
by goodbye are just a show off of what can be done, but at the same time
that they are discouraged practices?
No matter how little the risk is, I don't think we want to risk that
people will imitate them in new packages.
