Got the correct <URL:http://release.debian.org/squeeze/rc_policy.txt> on IRC. I agree that this required is in effect, and I believe it is fulfilled by our packages. > This needs to be met by a package for all archs. This is where we disagree. I believe this interpretation is wrong, and unreasonably limit the kind of functionality one can provide in Debian to the one also provided on kfreebsd and hurd.
