No good reason? How about the very good reason that these packages
are essential, and if they aren't handled strictly and carefully, we
have problems. As we've just seen.
But ok, if you don't like that, then I'll go back to what I said the
first time this came up: this belongs in the packaging manual, not
policy.
It's either a bug in dpkg, or a wishlist bug for the packaging
manual. I don't see anything policy-related at all about the whole
matter.
