Debian packages get built by several hundred different people and have to make consistent choices about many different things. Where are those choices to be found if not -policy? Why is the use of consistent terms like "MUST" and "SHOULD" about the relative significance of consistency of those choices a bad idea?. The rest of your note seems to be sayin that there are classes of things that should not be covered by -policy. I'm with you there. But you seem to mixing the two issues, as if the use of RFC terminology implies an attempt to take over dpkg development.
