This sounds great. Thank you very much for taking care of this update!
The Policy bug in question is #148194. It's somewhat difficult right now
to say in Policy that folding is allowed for debian/control but not for
.dsc and .changes, since right now the fields for all three are defined
together and folding is said to only be allowed if the specific field
description says it is. This area will require some restructuring to make
an exception for debian/control.
Sorry for not following up on this faster. I've been working hard on a
new WebAuth release and haven't had time for much else in the past few
days.
