You are making an important point here.

I think this is a very good idea. In case MR[1] will be accepted this
should be added to the policy as well. I'm not sure whether the
"Maintainership" paragraph is the best place to add this. I wonder if
you (or someone with the same doubts) might want to suggest another MR
to add this debian/README.DPT feature.
Kind regards
Andreas.
