Anyone know of a good pseudopackage on which to clone this bug to prevent acceptance of any package with such a standards-version? Is ftp an appropriate place?
You could file a wishlist bug on ``ftp.debian.org'' but I doubt that it would get implemented soon. But I doubt that this is a good idea as QA should happen by the DD packaging it before he uploads the package.
The first packages uploaded with a new standards-version would be rejected by the archive maintenance scripts if the latter are not updated in time when a new Debian policy hits the archives. And you could not count on a timely update of the standards-version on the FTP infrastructure.
