Does it require a 3:1 margin over all of the other possibilities? If there are 3 roughly equivalent options, it seems likely to me that people who like one of them will like all of them, and thus will have them all ranked at the top, in a roughly random distribution. None of these options would then have a supermajority over any of the others. Ah, I've answered my own question by reading the Debian constitution. The "further discussion" choice is considered to be the default option, and any proposals with supermajority requirements must have a supermajority relative to that option. That's a reasonably sensible way of handling it.

I had assumed it was a 3:1 proportion of voters.

I think it is 3:1 over further discussion.
