Why not just reverse the dependency? Have iraf and everything else
depend on iraf-common. Have iraf-common provide /usr/doc/iraf-common,
and have all the packages symlink to that.

Just have one /usr/doc/iraf-common/copyright.

Hmm. I had just assumed that that would be OK, as long as the source
package has the copyright, and as long as it's not possible
(dependency-wise) to install a binary package such that
/usr/doc/package/copyright doesn't exist.
