It's really too old to be very useful. I don't think we have been
following a very strict policy, but the Debian GNOME group uses a set
of tools and relatively homogen packaging habits across the pkg-gnome
packages. We're happy to help in specific issues you face, or to start
from other packages as templates for yours; we hang on #gnome-debian on
GIMPNet, but you can also ask your questions on debian-gtk-gnome@.
If anyone is interested in maintaining a GNOME subpolicy document, I
guess he could try collecting information with us.
