It's a problem I have to deal with all the time. I've told the
policy folks about the problem of how do you know your packages meet the
policy correctly but they had other things to do. Even working out
what has changed between versions is difficult.
You want to know what really happens? I do a quick check of the policy
changes, bump the number, then wait for someone to complain.

lintian and linda attempt to do it and probably do it well enough.
