I was surprised to discover that the standard rules for Debian
revision numbers
(maintainer revisions contain no dots;
 source NMUs contain one dots;
 binary NMUs contain two)
are not in Policy, but only in the Developer's Reference.

This seems like a perfect example of a place where policy should follow
practice; it would be supremely annoying and worthy of a serious bug
if these revisioning rules are not followed.  It's already checked in
NM!

Should a policy patch be created?
