I wrote the bug originally.
My goal was simply to get more packages to ship release notes (NEWS),
and optionally, to get fewer packages to ship useless source-level
changelogs.
A policy adjustment can help that a bit because that also influences
things like debhelper and a lot of packages just use that without much
further thought.
