Like:

    zcat /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz \
        | sed /`grep Standards-Version debian/control | awk '{ print $2 }'`/Q

?  I just use zless on that file and stop reading when I get to the
current Standards-Version of the package, but that would automate it.

This is, indeed, exactly the use of the Standards-Version field that both
Manoj and I are advocating.
