You can also get the patch here[0].
Please comment, approve, reject, so we can get it into the policy.

 1. In order to see the bugzilla interaction it is recommended that you write 
down in your changelog if you close a Debian-Edu/Skolelinux Bug (e.g. * foo 
bar (Closes Skolelinux Bug #007) ) but keep in mind that you have to close 
the bug manually in bugzilla!

+1. For updating a package in the stable pool, the following guidelines apply:
+
+ - Write an email to debian-edu@l.d.o. including the old package version, the
+  new proposed package version, a full debdiff (so that everyone can look at 
the patch) and ask for
+  inclusion.
+  Please also cc the email to ftpmaster@skolelinux.org.
+  Use the following subject for the mail: 'Stable update proposal: $package'
+
+ - Usually, the package waits for 3 days after the request, before an update 
will be considered.
+
+ - If no problem arises and an ftpmaster agrees, the new package version goes
+   in. If the package does not get an approval, the reject message will be 
send to the list.
+   If the package got accepted, an announcement will be send to the 
debian-edu-announce@l.d.o. list.
+
+

  1. In addition to these rules we try to follow the normal Rejection-FAQ 
written by the Debian ftpmasters to make sure we keep the archive legal and 
keep the packages in good quality. You find their rejection-FAQ at 
http://ftp-master.debian.org/REJECT-FAQ.html
