I'm just making a suggestion in the hope that it'll avoid a package
being soon obsoleted or broken.  It's not a requirement to acceptance
for me.  We will reject "tweaking" applications if they are likely to
do anything dangerous (automatrix, ubuntu-tweak etc) but discussions
within the archive admin team suggest that's not the case here.
