I agree with the idea. Unfortunately, I'm now sort of forced to do
this because

a) If I don't, I'll be breaking the LSB, and thus, Debian policy. =20

b) The change is already done (indeed, it was done by the previous
maintainer quite a while ago). Changing it back now will just bring
pointles breakage to users.

Actually, the point of my mail was to see if I could stop carrying
this divergence, by having the change incorporated here, upstream. I
read your answer as saying 'no', and that's fine by me. The change has
not been a support burden so far, so I will keep it. That's I think,
the correct compromise, as it's Debian's (and not mainstream's)
requirements I'm serving with it.
