I cannot find it explicitly stated anywhere, but etc/indent-code.el does
replace tabs with spaces:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     ;; Indent all of FILE-NAME.
     (find-file file-name)
     (let ((indent-tabs-mode nil))
       (untabify (point-min) (point-max))
       (indent-region (point-min) (point-max))
       (save-buffer)
       (message "Done!")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So I assumed it's policy.  Perhaps the documentation should explicitly
note that spaces are Official Policy?
