I think we found a flaw in the policy process here: policy changes should be cc'ed to the relevant package maintainer both on the initial proposal other state changes (like becoming an ammendment and being accepted). I'll file this as a bugreport to change this in the policy process. I completely missed this proposal somehow, so I never even thought about implementing this in dpkg-buildpackage. We actually should consider another change: something can not become policy until there is an existing implementaiton. This rule is also used in the RFC process, and works great there.
