Debian policy is not writ in stone. We are a group of people
with common cause -- and, if "a number of developers" are at odds
with the way things are done, then
a) They can talk and try to convince other people
b) Come up with code/test cases and demonstrate the better method
c) Realize that as volunteers no one can dictate how they spend
their time
Debian is essentially a bazaar of cathedrals -- each developer
has almost absolute control over the work that he does (well, with
some restrictions -- following licenses, heeding the policy
guidelines, etc).
