I think a suitable section in debian policy would be appropriate. And
mere technical discussions about the policy contents are also
appropriate in d-policy. All other technical discussions should go
in an alioth list. My suggestion of an alioth list is due to
current discouraging (and long delays) for a new proper list on
lists.debian.org. If interested people would think a l.d.o list
is better, that could also be nice.
