LLD side is unwilling to implement this feature due to lack of real-world use 
and its purpose having to be guessed at even by a binutils maintainer.

Would there be willingness to accept a patch deprecating/removing this behaviour?

The alternative of me trying to convince the Debian side (dpkg) to accept 
deprecation of this there or many packages remaining unbuildable with LLD 
doesn't seem great.
