I received no satisfactory answer.

So I feel that there is no Debian policy on using port numbers.

This policy should be added to Debian!

It may be something like: "Debian packages (with default configuration) are 
allowed to bind ports 1-10000. Ports 10001-32000 are available for users."

Please discuss.
