My point is: "First step to find technical solution for some issue is 
admit that there is some issue".

It was clearly admitted by "juanmabc" that there is issue, he also made 
proposal how to solve it, but it was immediately dismissed with remark 
of "easier life for package maintainers", which was inappropriate 
generalization from my POV.

I understand that everybody of us has a lot of thinks to do. That is not 
reason for dismiss such idea. At the end, one more or less item on TODO 
list makes no difference.
