Oh, I don't install those -- instead I provide a reference via the
DEP5 copyright format, and include the entire license if it's not part
of common-licenses. See this file for an example:

http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-perl/trunk/libmojomojo-perl/debian/copyright?view=markup

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Jonathan
