I would not mind a *single* bug in debian-policy which affects base-files, using a little bit more friendly subject, for example: debian-policy: PLEASE REPORT BUGS ABOUT COMMON-LICENSES TO DEBIAN-POLICY I leave the details to the policy group if they agree. (So, the advertisement is formally done by debian-policy, it would show in the base-files bug page, and it would be a single bug). Thanks.
