This is indeed a problem. Obviously, relying on the judgment of

Look how everything fits together!

IMO, only on occasions the damage already has happened (dnssec-conf).
I disagree. I already cited one example in this thread of a broken

if you require.
The vast majority of packages gets pushed without any votes.
Again, no votes does not mean no information.
