I wrote the bug originally. My goal was simply to get more packages to ship release notes (NEWS), and optionally, to get fewer packages to ship useless source-level changelogs. A policy adjustment can help that a bit because that also influences things like debhelper and a lot of packages just use that without much further thought.
