While implementing the parser/validator I wondered whether I should enforce this, and because I was unsure, I left it as is (at least for now), as we can always enforce it later (given that there was no enforcing before). I guess my worry would be whether that would break any existing valid use (outside of the Debian archive) for locally/internal/vendor built packages, and for the myriad of brand TLDs (for example), although for the latter I think I've read somewhere that TLDs are not supposed to have MXs defined?
