With my Lintian hat on here, what I am 100% trying to avoid here is either
encouraging folks to blindly following it in error (and possibly tediously
asking them to change later) as well as being overly nagging in general.

Once we have nailed the section mapping "upstream", let's 100%, definitely
bump this back up. Perhaps even higher. In the meantime, I really want to
avoid harmful false positives (of sorts) as maintainers ignoring Lintian
undermines the quality of the entire Debian archive in areas outside of
sections.

Thanks for sending these!
