I don't recall that promise ever being made. Where did you see it? The promise in the first revision of the wiki page for discussion was “This is not a proposal to change the policy in the short term.” <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat?action=recall&rev=1> That leaves open, intentionally in my view, the option to become a proposal to change Policy when it later became appropriate.
