No disagreement here. Even better, if udebs were documented in more
detail, it would make it easier for package maintainers to deal with
day-to-day maintenance without having to talk to the d-i team directly
as much. If someone writes a udeb policy, that will be an excellent
contribution.
Thanks for clarifying, and sorry for the confusion.
