My understanding is that the point of including sub-policies into debian-policy is, in part, for them to follow the same consensus process as other Policy modifications. Also, so far we've not had any real difficulty getting seconds for sub-policy modifications (well, when one of the Policy maintainers is pushing a little; SETTITLE has sat for quite some time and could use seconds), so right now at least I'm not sure we have a problem that needs to be solved. In general, my hope would be that if a sub-policy for a particular area is managed as part of Policy, those who are interested in that area would monitor the debian-policy mailing list and discuss and second changes in that area. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
