Bug#424164: lintian: don't complain about README/LICENSE files in zope Products

we're talking about zope template files here, not just a stupid text
file living somewhere. It doesn't make sense to read a Zope template on
it's own, and it's not possible to drop a simple text file into it's
place instead. *.pt files are part of the web-application.

You've opened the bug, it's your turn to close it again.

Thanks,

Bernd
