Would you concur?
By my gut, either marking it as experimental, or removing it and re-adding it once bullseye becomes stable, are superior approaches to marking it pedantic. Pedantic might still motivate, well, a pedant, to change something. Generally speaking, I found the tag informative, because I wasn't aware of this new default setting in bullseye until lintian pointed this out to me. It's just that a warning is a strong call to action. Christian
