Debian Policy (4.5.0.0):
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts
has now changed to follow POSIX.1-2017 (IEEE Std 1003.1-2017):
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799//utilities/command.html
Where "The command utility is moved from the User Portability Utilities
option to the Base".
This makes checkbashisms' rejection of eg 'command -v' a false positive.
