After the initial RFC we updated the guidelines document to incoperate
the feedback that we received. The diff is available:

The full text is available here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThirdPartyRepositoryApplicationProcess
The key points we adressed are:
* allow a exception for packages are maintained for lts releases only
(they need to add a special tag)
* make the scope for packages that are considered for third party
applications a bit broader
* for the case where running a launchpad project is not feasible, we
added an option to use "ubuntu-third-party-bugs" as the fallback
* change the wording to reflect that its more a guideline than a
strict policy
Cheers,
Alexander Sack and Michael Vogt
