Why would I run lintian at all if I thought supplying broken packages was acceptable? I complained about a few specific cases where the policy is arcane because I was explicitly asked to do so above, not because I believe I shouldn't have to follow the established conventions.

I'm touched by your concern for how I spend my time, but arguing against points I haven't actually advanced is probably not a good use of yours.
