Yeah, I was kind of surprised by that.  Didn't have time to deal with it
over the past week, but figured I'd try to work around it using a
lintian override.

I don't remember receiving this advice.  That would make the name
different from what's in my GPG key, but I suppose I could add an
additional name to the key...  Note my email From address doesn't have
the comma or full stop, because I find the quotes aesthetically
inelegant, but I made that change after the key.

I think you mean "even if we decided to clarify Policy..." as my
practice conforms to what's currently in Policy.  But we've been through
that already.
