This part of the policy is a "should" and not a "must".  I'll leave it
to the package maintainer, but I suppose this bug is not "serious".  It
would be made "must" (post #489460 which is not yet released).

Since the above is a "should" and not a "must", tools doing this must be
prepared [1] to encounter bad entries.

One less RC bug if you or Daniel downgrade this :-)
