Thank you for reporting back. In #876075, we are considering dropping singlehtml output from the debian-policy package. There are numerous other bugs -- such as all footnote hyperlinks being broken -- and upstream sphinx seems to focus their efforts on the multi-page output, which is much better quality. I think we need to resolve that discussion before we can respond to your request for feedback in your message quoted above. Either way we are going to need redirects, but it's not yet clear which. I hope that you do not feel that your time has been wasted helping us improve the singlehtml publishing, only for us now to be considering switching back to multi-page :( We really wanted to make it work, but the quality of the output just isn't good enough. -- Sean Whitton
