Hmm. What debian-policy are you looking at?
The one I see in git is slightly reworded, yes:
Packages distributed under the Apache license (version 2.0), the
Artistic license, the GNU GPL (versions 1, 2, or 3), the GNU
LGPL (versions 2, 2.1, or 3), and the GNU FDL (versions 1.2 or
1.3) should refer to the corresponding files
under <file>/usr/share/common-licenses</file>,<footnote>
<p>
In particular,
<file>/usr/share/common-licenses/Apache-2.0</file>,
<file>/usr/share/common-licenses/Artistic</file>,
<file>/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-1</file>,
<file>/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2</file>,
<file>/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3</file>,
<file>/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-2</file>,
<file>/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-2.1</file>,
<file>/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-3</file>,
<file>/usr/share/common-licenses/GFDL-1.2</file>, and
<file>/usr/share/common-licenses/GFDL-1.3</file>
[...]
but it still contains the "authoritative list".
