Are these the policies that are currently in use?

This seems more like a HOWTO document, and relies heavily on
using debhelper. The language is not what I would expect of a normative
document; it is fine for what it appears to be, a user guide.
In general, the policy should define interfaces and
requirements, and leave implementation details to the user; which is
not the case here.

This document is slightly better, but there is no indication
that this has been accepted by the Debian Python crowd. Has there been
a ratification of this document by folks who use python?

Umm, I am not sure where that document comes from, but it
certainly does not seem to be part of the Debian technical policy, so I
am not sure what the relevance is here.
Perhaps the Python Debian community should come to a consensus,
update the page on http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/, and
then move to have whatever the result is be added to the
technical policy?
