News to me. What version of iptables do you have?
amd64 lenny
iptables -V
iptables v1.3.8
uname -r
2.6.20-1-amd64
iptables -P INPUT REJECT
iptables: Bad policy name
but I can do a iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT
strange

Odd. My recollection was also that REJECT could be used in a policy.
However, it seems clear from the man pages and searching around that
ACCEPT, DROP, QUEUE, and RETURN are the only options. There are extended
targets that include REJECT, but as you mentioned above, that only seems
available for user chains.
