No, that's not true, if you encountered a password request than
something else is broken, we did not add any specific password
requirement.
Also, the policy should not state neither that "everything is under
svn" (and AFAIR it does not say so) nor that "everything is under
git", because none is true. We are migrating, some packages are under
svn, some other under git, it will be probably stays as such for quite
a while.
The authoritative information is, as always, the Vcs-* fields that you
can inspect either via APT / debcheckout (assuming you also have
unstable entries), or on the PTS. But all this is not specific to us
OCaml guys, it's ordinary Debian practice.

Please refine this. It is true that the ::-rules are affected by the
order, so the includes can switch the following two rm lines:
clean::
-rm -rf something1
-rm -rf something2
which can happen to come from different files. But it is similarly
true that switching the order of those two lines doesn't affect the
final outcome.
So, if you have a specific problem caused by our choice of order in
the documentation please let us know, but with a real problem caused
by that. Because from what you wrote I don't see, yet, any problem.
Cheers.
