The debian-policy source package creates two binary packages:
debian-policy and packaging-manual. They have identical changelogs,
which refer to both packages. You might want to install the
packaging-manual package.
My recollection is that the reason that there are two different
binary packages is historical. It has been suggested that the
packaging-manual might well be handed back to the dpkg developers to
maintain.
