Then perhaps file a bug against the policy manual (sorry, don't know
what magic name that has in the BTS), to help others in same situation
as you :-)

Please file such bug in the Debian BTS rather than the Skolelinux one.
This may not be obvious, so here is my understanding on best approach:
* Use Debian BTS for packages in Debian maintained by debian-edu
* Use Debian BTS for packages in Debian used as-is in Skolelinux
* Use Debian BTS for packages in Debian rebuild in Skolelinux, if the
Debian package maintainer welcomes such bug reports.
* Use Skolelinux BTS for packages in Debian but rebuild for Skolelinux
if the package maintainer is not explicitly interested in them
* Use Skolelinux BTS for packages only in Debian.
This is one reason to minimize backports, sideports and local hacks:
Even if you are careful yourself with each derivation off using "pure"
Debian packages, you make it more confusing also on bugreporters to
optimally help out.

Read /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz and if you
are sure the newest version of policy is actually obeyed then bump up
the version in the package to 3.6.2 (last digit is only related to
typos, so irrelevant for declaring in packages).

Perhaps using launchtool or daemon (see the Debian packages of the
same names) would help solve this?
No, I am not volunteering to do this myself.
