Bug#344269: etch release policy: scripts "must" set "appropriate" #! line?

Did you check to be sure this was really in 1.23.21?  After Steve's
response, I already reintroduced this check in 1.23.19, so if this check
isn't in the current lintian there's some sort of regression that I don't
understand.

  * checks/scripts:
    + [RA] Debian etch release policy explicitly forbids scripts without
      #! magic and they rely on being run from a shell.  Revert the change
      that permitted the Perl magic without a #! line.  Thanks to Piotr
      Engelking and Steve Langasek for pointing this out.
