Yes, it ought to have one - that way you can (for example) extract all
the copyrights automatically.

Why ? You need a separate file in /usr/doc/copyright to say who the
authors are, &c (you want to give credit even if it's not legally
required, right ?), and adding a sentence saying `This is public
domain' is shorter than `See /usr/doc/copyright/Public-Domain for
a detailed description of public-domainness, which applies to this
package.'
