Thank you for taking the time to write up patch text for this bug.  FWIW
I would second it, however:

I think that debhelper's behaviour needs to be sorted out before we can
change what Policy says.  Otherwise, we make hundreds of packages buggy,
and Policy changes aren't meant to do that.

Let's get debhelper doing what most makes sense in 2017, and then update
Policy.  I would suggest that you/Jeremy write to #666056, perhaps
retitling that bug, and saying something like "please make debhelper
install NEWS as NEWS.gz not as changelog.gz."
