Your complaint appeared to be that someone could switch from
targeted to minimal (or similar) by simply installing the other
package. It *does not work that way*, and it never has.

If you're saying that an upgrade to a later targeted policy might
break the local customizations, doesn't that mean the targeted policy
maintainer made a mistake?
