I wasn't entirely sure about the current process, so I looked around a
bit and found [0]. This proposal [1] already has three seconds (Russ,
Jakub and Julien), so that should already be sufficient. Obviously,
additional seconds don't hurt and I consider to do so myself.

I don't think we necessarily need the distinction between directories in
/usr/lib/ holding architecture-indep only data or a mixture, and with
the current proposal  #740345 would still be a valid bug, though with
non-RC severity (as it would violate a should directive).

But I guess it would then be one of those cases where we simply tag the
bug as wontfix. That directory is sort-of API and we shouldn't change it
downstream, imho.
