Which one is it / which URL can we link to?
We do not provide documentation outside the comment and the debian/NEWS
entry. We should document the mechanisms, but not the policy, inside
APT.
The policy is subject to the policy file in the packaging, as well as
the default Sequoia policy which are in a sense outside of APT's control
as an upstream identity (different downstreams may apply their own
policies).
Surely the apt package in Debian is to be used in Debian, and thus
can document the Debian-specifics? If I understand you right, it
also ships a Debian-specific policy file.
