wrt the other email I saw after this one; it's not policy yet and wasn't
in policy for precisely last-minute-tweaking sort of reasons.

a consensus for this position?
FWIW I think it's a sensible solution to it. The cases where there is
more than one exception are probably quite rare and are effectively
their own license in any case.

Package: debian-policy
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-03-06
Severity: normal
I'm not sure if this is a policy problem or a website problem or someone
else's problem.
As the dh-make maintainer, I often have to check that dh-make is doing
the right thing. This means that I try to follow polic
her, I think they are going to be similar as the existing BSDs.
That would make sense. I'm trying to see for GNU/Linux if LSB should be
followed and if so is it a SHOULD or a MUST.
I'm getting the impression it is a should.

Package: packaging-manual
Version: 3.2.1.0
Severity: wishlist
One of the top-ten requests we get in webmaster email is can we put URLs
of the packages home page into the package page. We grab the
information for the package page from the package's description field,
so..
I think it would be a ni
cy on this issue?
Some programs come with files that are already compressed upstream. It is a
bit wierd for this to be done, especially considering most upstream files
are tar and gzipped.

why they are not.
It seems that the policy on how to determine if a package is Essential may
need some work, otherwise we would of all been able to say
"of course it is (not)".

back upon what I've just written, I'm wondering... why is

The issue of debhelper scripts came up on here. As Manoj? said, I think,
the debhelper scripts can be thought of as an implementation of the
Debian policy.

I think a lot of us have forgotten the developers out there, trying to package
stuff correctly but not sure how.
