Yep. Here is what I could find

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Packaging
http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/

Fedora also has very comprehensive licensing guidelines

Can other distributions post their own guidelines and policies so that 
we can look at consolidating the common parts?
