No, the Policy Manual currently does not cover these topics. I suggest
that we discuss this sometime (on debian-devel or debian-policy) and have
it added to the Debian Developers Reference.
(Or are you thinking of the `text on the price of participation' you
posted to debian-policy some time ago? I'm planning to integrate this to
the Dev Ref too.)
Thanks,
