Debian Policy 4.2.1.0 released



Hello everyone,

I just pushed Debian Policy 4.2.1.0 to sid.

Please excuse a release containing just a single entry in the upgrading
checklist.  It was discovered that Debian Policy 4.1.2.0 made several
thousand packages RC-buggy, which was not intended.  This release fixes
that, by relaxing the requirement that made them buggy.  See the
discussion in #906901 for details.

Here are the changes from the previously announced version of Policy
(4.2.0):

10.4 & perl
    The requirement that the shebang at the top of Perl command
    scripts be ``#!/usr/bin/perl`` is relaxed from a 'must' to a
    'should'.
