I think there is. Raul has demonstrated people have a hard
time figuring out licences; a file is important to point out why the
package is not part of debian. These shall also help people make
decisions about other licences; and find out of they are indeed
non-DFSG.
You should like this, Alex, since you can look over these
files and see if there is a flaw, and maybe the package is not in
main by error. Such mistakes shall be easier to spot.
