Have you actually read the Policy? It's basically a document that 
specifies how packages should integrate with each other. And it also 
evolves as needed.

Could you provide an example of a good and technically sound proposal 
that was simply dismissed without a good reason?

Diverging from upstream is much work. Debian already does that in many 
areas and receives a lot of heat from various upstreams (and their 
communities) for this. This is one of the downsides of diversity in 
possibly the biggest repository of packaged software.
