Hm, no, that's not my perception of Policy.  New Policy changes should
reflect practice in Debian first unless the problem is significant enough
that Policy needs to pick a side before one wins in practice, but once
something is in Policy, practice needs to conform with Policy and not the
other way around.  Otherwise, what would be the point in having a Policy
document?

Of course, if someone believes Policy is wrong, they can always propose to
change it.  In this case, though, I think Policy's current position is
also the correct technical one to take.
