Package: debian-policy
Version: 4.0.0.0
Severity: normal

Hello,

section 10.4 says:

  Scripts may assume that /bin/sh implements the SUSv3 Shell Command
  Language ...

This version of the standard is so outdated that it isn't even any
longer available on the opengroup web site. The latest version of the
standard is 4.2 (published in 2016), earlier versions currently 
available on the opengroup site are 4 (from 2008) and 4.1 (from 2013).
Please consider updating the policy.

Thanks -Ralf.
