I'm fine with fixing the package so I won't defend this argument too
much, but I'd be curious to know. Because if the compliance level
declared by the package doesn't matter, it would mean the
Standards-Version field could be deprecated (and considering the time we
spend bumping the value of this field twice a year for ~500 packages
actively maintained by the Java team, such a simplification would be
welcome).
