Policy only contains part of what was in the packaging manual.

But it does not, really. The rest of the packaging manual has
been relegated to where it came from, documentation of the Debian
packaging system; and it is in the process of being reincarnated as a
dpkg manual.
A statement that parts of the packagning manualk are now part
of the policy manual would be correct; and perhaps the description
can mention that.
