The «stanza» name is a commonly used and understood term when referring to deb822 parts. Although «paragraph» is commonly used it has the problem of being confusing as it then makes it hard to distinguish actual text paragraphs in prose, while «stanza» is a very specific term that is not applied anywhere else in the deb822 context, so it's always more clear and specific, than also block or record. In addition «stanza» is shorter, which is always a nice attribute on code for example. This unifies the terminology used with recent changes in the Debian policy manual, to try to make these concepts more clear in general.
