Others may feel differently, but I'd prefer if you just didn't update standards version at all for your packages in that case. I think that would be fine -- you're indicating that you're not reviewing all changes to Policy in a systematic way. Should you have (or later get) co-maintainers for your package, they'll see that this is something they could do if they wished and enjoyed that work more than you do. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
