Package: debian-policy Version: 3.9.3.1 Policy is not consistent about the requirement that perl scripts need to use "#!/usr/bin/perl" and not, for example, "#!/usr/bin/env perl".
Policy 10.4 says "In the case of Perl scripts this should(!) be #!/usr/bin/perl", but it's a hard requirement in the Debian Perl Policy (5.1): "All packaged perl programs must(!) start with #!/usr/bin/perl and may append such flags as are required". (Okay, one can argue that Policy 11.9 only says packages SHOULD follow the Perl policy.) I have no strong opinion about this being a hard requirement or not, but see the recent discussion on debian-perl@ [1].
