Re: Conflicts between developers and policy

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com>]

Hi,

	This, I like.
______________________________________________________________________
   Policy should be followed, except where a discussion about the clause in
   question is still ongoing, in which case the maintainer may indulge in a
   policy violation if they feel it is a technically superior
   approach.

   When policy is being violated in this manner, this fact should/must
   be documented in the bug tracking system, on the appropriate Debian
   mailing lists, and in the changelog of the package violating
   policy, including information on what policy is being violated, and
   why.  Any permanantly accepted policy violations (such as the
   dynamic library managing programs being shipped statically linked)
   should/must be documented in the policy manual, including an
   explanation of why the policy exception was granted.
