Package: debian-policy
Severity: normal

Footnote [9] in chapter 12 says:

"""
The University of California BSD license is also included in base-files as
/usr/share/common-licenses/BSD, but given the brevity of this license, its
specificity to code whose copyright is held by the Regents of the University
of California, and the frequency of minor wording changes, its text should
be included in the copyright file rather than referencing this file.
"""

Currently, there is only one package left referencing this file: #1105873.
Please remove this part of the footnote so the file can finally be removed.
