You feel there a problem of vocabolary for the text in Debian Policy 
defining the term, or only when not looking up its definition in the 
context of packages?

If the former then I encourage you to file a friendly bugreport against 
package debian-policy - the maintainers are nice people who appreciates 
suggestions for improving the wording in the text.

If the latter then I am not sure how that can be helped...
