Certainly not. Let me explain why :

Hum, that's the problem. There's more than one maintainer involved and
they don't agree together.
For example, Christian Marillat is maintaining most of the core Gnome
programs. But Chris Waters who maintains Orbit disagrees with
Christian's plan. There's also Bastien Nocera (file-roller package and
also an upstream Gnome developer) who disagrees.
Anyway, I don't have a precise list of who defends each solution, you
know enough when you know that not all Debian maintainers agree
together.
The worst that can happen is that each follow his own plan,
thus the request to the technical committee.

Well, you want more detailed proposals, but I don't know how I can give
you more detailed proposals, imho you have enough information about the
actual propositions. If you need more details, you have to ask precise
questions and not only "can you give more details". :-)
