And it has been part of the guidelines for a *very* long time, simply to
reduce the risk that something is built that refuses to work because of
very obvious problems. It is easy to build packages that install fine, but
which contain programs that don't even start without problems. A typical
mistake with graphical applications is a "Help" menu item which doesn't
work because of misplaced or missing documentation files.
