To be more straight forward about it, I don't see that there's much
utility in pretending we're going to release without a kernel.  I would
rather do this sort of infrastructural work in the kernel team channels
directly.

That was what I saw, but since k-p generates the postinst that can,
possibly, write the file, and also ships the manpage, I am torn between
the two interpretations of 'expected use' vs. 'policy violation'.  The
edge case also seems to be a corner case for policy, at least from here.
