Hm, I don't believe that's the case. Constitution 6.1.1 explicitly says:
The Technical Committee may:
1. Decide on any matter of technical policy.
This includes the contents of the technical policy manuals,
developers' reference materials, example packages and the behaviour
of non-experimental package building tools. (In each case the usual
maintainer of the relevant software or documentation makes decisions
initially, however; see 6.3(5).)
The Debian Policy process is not a constitutional process, but rather is
just a delegate of the Project Leader, so I don't see anything that would
override that explicit constitutional grant of power.
