Could you explain why you think this is needed, please? What problems
could be caused by a package being listed in more than one field, and
what problems could be caused by forbidding that?
Semantically, it seems we should allow things like this:
Depends: foo (>= 2)
Recommends: foo (>= 3)
but I don't yet see why Policy needs to say anything about it.
