Hm, I'm not sure I'd have redirected a non-developer user to the TC as a
first resort, but hey.

Ah, now, if you'd followed the link to
http://www.debian.org/devel/tech-ctte that you quote above ... :-) It's
got a brief document on how to refer questions to the committee.
2. Write up a summary of the disagreement, preferably agreeing it with
your opponent, and send it to the bug tracking system. Reassign the
bug report to the pseudo-package tech-ctte. If there is no bug for
the dispute yet, file one.
Hope that helps,
