How shall I report a bug in the .deb packaging itself?

Oh! this is very useful!

What if:
- "remove" removes a package and all the unused depends, recommends and 
suggests.
- but before removing asks the user to exclude packages from the 
removal, and from that moment marks those as installed by the user.
- "autoremove" only removes depends.

Imagine that we have the perfect way to innovate. That we have decided 
slowly along with other people, the change is small, we have put it on 
test as prototype, and the outcome seems to be very positive.

Would that make us get rid of complains?
