I looked at the list of open bugs against base-files and found no

If the bugs reassigned from base-files to Policy were marked as
"affects" base-files, then they'd show up in base-files' BTS page. That
might be a good way to avoid duplicates being opened.
(This is the same mechanism used when a bug reported against an app
turns out to be really a bug in some library used by that app.)
Good suggestion, thanks.
@sanvila: Would you mind if I issued these commands to the BTS control server?

Well, yes, I would mind.
Those are really policy proposals which may still get approved or
rejected, and until they are approved, they do not really "affect"
base-files.
That's different from a package which FTBFS because of a bug in a -dev
package, because in those cases the build failure is typically an
objective fact.
