Bug#375502: debian-policy must clarify how sub-policies should be managed

[George Danchev <danchev@spnet.net>]

Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.7.2.1
Severity: wishlist

The current paragraphs of #1.4, #11.9, #11.9 show perl-policy as
a part debian-policy package and emacs-policy as a separate package.
I think that all sub-policies should obey same rules, e.g. each of them
to be managed in a separate package or within the debian-policy package.
If a separate package is chosen and allowed then is it fine to polulate
/usr/share/doc/debian-policy/ with that sub-policy files.
That must be stipulated straightforward in the debian-policy.
