Can you be more specific about the sections that you are referring to? I
don't think that policy mentions NMUs at all. Here is the relevant section
from the Developer's Reference:
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-porting.en.html#s-recompile-nmu-versioning
If there is another section which contradicts this one, that should be
clarified.
