Hi,
I'm filing my relatively big policy change as a bug now. It's not hard for
me to maintain two separate branches, but since nobody voiced any negative
opinions on it, Manoj recommended that I go ahead and file this bug.
The most up-to-date version is available at
http://www.srce.hr/~joy/policy/
There's SGML, HTML, tarballed HTML, diff -u and diff -wu output there.
Further discussion is in:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-policy/2003/debian-policy-200303/msg00193.html
The first and the third post in the thread summarize the contents of
upgrading-checklist for this.

Description:

Changes:
debian-policy (3.6.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
Josip:
* Restructured Policy, closes: #189306.
+ Many packaging manual appendices that were integrated into policy
sections are now empty, and replaced with links to the Policy.
In particular, the appendices that included the list of control
fields were updated (new fields like Closes, Changed-By were added)
and the list of fields for each of control, .changes and .dsc files
is now in Policy, and they're marked mandatory, recommended or
optional based on the current practice and the behaviour of the
deb-building toolchain.
+ Elimination of needlessly deep section levels, primarily in the
chapter Debian Archive, from which two new chapters were split out,
Binary packages and Source packages. What remained was reordered
properly, that is, some sect1s became sects etc.
+ Several sections that were redundant, crufty or simply not designed
with any sort of vision, were rearranged according to the formula that
everything should be either in the same place or properly interlinked.
Some things remained split up between different chapters when they
talked about different aspects of files: their content, their syntax,
and their placement in the file system. In particular, see the new
sections about changelog files.
Manoj:
* Added Games/Simulation to menu subpolicy closes: Bug#194974
* Added Apps/Education to menu subpolicy closes: Bug#194972
* [ACCEPTED]: Debian changelogs should be UTF-8 encoded. Changed the
wording from a should to a may; since a should would make an unknown
number of packages insta buggy. A reuest makes all these wishlist
bugs; we can raise the severity in a later version of policy.
closes: Bug#174982
* Added LANG=C before the debiandoc2X invocations, this ensures that the
resulting documents do not get converted to the locale on the building
machine. This answers some of the issues mentioned in Bug#175064
* [AMENDMENT 02/05/2003] encourage packagers to systematically prevent
mis-linked libraries closes: Bug#191369
* [AMENDMENT 6/6/2003] build-depends-indep need not be satisfied
during clean target. closes: Bug#191411, Bug#178809
* Fixed the fact that section 7.5.1 does not describe dpkg's true
behavior. Now added a footnote that explains that replaces is a one
way relationship. closes: Bug#183195
* Could no longer find the misspelling "seciton", thus this must have
been fixed in a previous change in the manual. closes: Bug#193903
* Fixed an incorect /usr/share/common-licences/GPL reference, ensured a
consistent spelling across the manuals. closes: Bug#189516
* Removed an extraneous > in menu policy. closes: Bug#187615
* Fixed typos, and part of the report that was deemed valid; the other
changes suggested were incorrect, or style issues. closes: Bug#169744
* updated the section numbers in the upgrading checklist
for the restructuring
