Could you, or someone else, get together with the debian-installer folks and whoever else would be an expert in what constitutes the base system and propose new wording for Policy? Also, do you have a reference for the obsolescence of the base section? Even without the real definition of base (which I suspect is actually done by priority), if that section isn't used any more, we should remove it.
