Thanks for the explanation.  Is there a rationale document (and a design 
document that explains what we have to expect from this change) 
somewhere on the Debian web site ?

I couldn't find it, but perhaps I didn't search it right.

If this is such an obvious solution to the problems you mention, one 
would assume that other distributors would clamor for it, too.
