Not in the policy. But have a look at the subthread starting at

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2002/debian-devel-200210/msg01685.html

or at

http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2003/debian-mentors-200311/msg00052.html

So I think we should keep it like it is until we get a really clean
solution. As pointed out in the other mail, ucf might provide one.
