I'm not sure what the policy team's intentions are, but Lintian's Data
module no longer provides the policy information. [1] We now keep the
data in a JSON file that is more reliably exchanged and updated. [2]
As a courtesy to this package (and to the policy team) Lintian now
ships an executable "/usr/share/lintian/private/latest-policy-version"
that provides the latest policy information. [3] Please use that
executable to obtain the information you require.

As a side note, Lintian no longer ships its private modules in the
public Perl path. [4] Please do not use our modules directly anymore.
We would be happy to give you access to additional data via
executables, if needed.

Marking this bug "important" because Debian CI is failing (but
separately, since I copied the policy bug). Thanks!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
