This should have been discussed *before* submitting 54 bugs, see the
"Debian Developer's Reference":

  <http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/beyond-pkging.html#submit-many-bugs>
 
There is an ongoing discussion on debian-devel started on another bug
you submitted for the very same reason:

  <http://bugs.debian.org/732878>
  <http://lists.debian.org/52BA88EE.7080000@debian.org>

Given that the output of the above discussion is still not clear, IMHO
it is too early to simply add the proposed changes, hence the moreinfo
tag.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
