Yes... I was the one who raised it back then, IIRC. So in 3.5.16 you
decided to follow policy. In 3.5.17,
debmake (3.5.17) frozen unstable; urgency=high
* debstd: Undo most the changes in 3.5.16. For now, it just warns.

My point is a simple one -- you adopt the stance of adhering to Policy
when it suits you (/usr/share/doc), but you break Policy when you feel
like it (allowing packages to edit other conffiles -- with a warning
as a sop to Policy).
Pardon me if I call that what it is -- hypocracy.
