To some extent I agree. But the policy should be aimed toward finding 
and reporting these bugs, not toward glazing over the problem. To that 
end, I am in favour of setting alignment to 1 rather than 3 as default.

Any policy of not fixing things like this should arguably be grounds for 
excluding the package from the distribution.

As I said, I was suggesting warn rather than fixup+warn for the extra 
pressure to get such things fixed. I definitely agree with increasing 
the visibility either way.
