Yes this is about the workflow and not the package, and so far we have let developpers pick whatever workflows suit them. Cheers, -- Bill. Imagine a large red swirl here.

Thanks for filing the patch. As to your question, it's the latter (I'm not sure whether or not the former is true, but in any case, Policy contains recommendations in addition to musts and shoulds). -- Sean Whitton signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I've created a PR for devref - https://salsa.debian.org/debian/developers-reference/-/merge_requests/41 Are you saying that it doesn't belong in policy because it'd be a recommendation rather than a must/should (at this point?), or because it's more about the workflow inside of Debian than package contents?
