Hm, I don't believe that's the case.  Constitution 6.1.1 explicitly says:

  The Technical Committee may:

  1. Decide on any matter of technical policy.

     This includes the contents of the technical policy manuals,
     developers' reference materials, example packages and the behaviour
     of non-experimental package building tools. (In each case the usual
     maintainer of the relevant software or documentation makes decisions
     initially, however; see 6.3(5).)

The Debian Policy process is not a constitutional process, but rather is
just a delegate of the Project Leader, so I don't see anything that would
override that explicit constitutional grant of power.
