This is an important distinction that I don't think is really captured
anywhere.  Let me rephrase it to see if I'm capturing your sentiment.

There is Debian Python Policy which describes the standards for publishing
Python libraries and applications within the Debian archive.  It is a Debian
Project-wide standard, irrespective of which team, if any, is maintaining the
Python package.

There is the DPMT, a team for co-maintaining Python libraries.  It has its own
policy document for how those libraries are maintained, and adheres to DPP for
publishing those libraries in the archive.

There is the PAPT, a team for co-maintaining Python applications.  While there
may be overlap with DPMT (e.g. some upstream packages provide both libraries
and applications), PAPT has its own policy document for how those applications
are maintained, and adheres to DPP for publishing those applications in the
archive.

My concern here is discoverability and knowing the procedures for making
changes to the various policies.  Am I the only one who thinks that it's
harder than necessary to find the right information?
