Hmm, there are different "should" here.
I think we can say "it should be supported in Debian" (or at least some
other quoting thing).
I don't know if it's OK for the current policy, as it's not clear if "The
name must come first, then the email address inside angle brackets <> (in
RFC822 format)." means the whole string or just the email address should
be in RFC822 format.
I don't know if the current tools parse it correctly.
