We have now decided to drop singlehtml output, i.e., drop policy-1.html.
It is just too buggy and we don't want to continue including it in the
Debian archive.

Could you switch the web mirrors to use the multipage version, please?
Then I can drop the file from our releases.

If Sphinx upstream improves the singlehtml output sufficiently that we
decide to include it in our package again, I don't think we'd want to
change the web mirrors again.  So you can take this change as the final
change for as long as we use Sphinx, and put in place permanent 301
redirects.

Thank you for your patience.
