No:

6. Technical committee
  6.1. Powers
       The Technical Committee may:
         1. Decide on any matter of technical policy.
            This includes the contents of the technical policy manuals,
            developers' reference materials, example packages and the
            behaviour of non-experimental package building tools. (In
            each case the usual maintainer of the relevant software or
            documentation makes decisions initially, however; see
            6.3(5).)

So, _any_ disagreement regarding the Policy manual is regarded as a
technical one.
