Move them to /usr/lib/tcpquota then. Any thing likely to be in
a users path has to have a man page.

Move the copyright to the copyright file. Put a description of
what tcpquota does in the description. When I am installing from
main, I kinda know where the copyright falls (or else it would not be
in main). I do not necessarily know what a package does.

Except for links into /etc and /var.

That is not a reason. It is very easy to install a link to
/etc [even if the file does not yet exist in /etc]. Look at this
snippet:
(cd debina/tmp/usr/lib/someplace; ln -s /etc/no-such-file .)

do a man ssh. Look for section CONFIGURATION FILES.

Specifies whether the connection to the authentica
tion agent (if any) will be forwarded to the remote
machine. The argument must be "yes" or "no".
ForwardX11
Specifies whether X11 connections will be automati
cally redirected over the secure channel and DIS
PLAY set. The argument must be "yes" or "no".

BTW, debian-mentors is precisely the right list for this kind
of a question (isn't debian-devel getting kinda crowded?)
