Hi,
I'm surprised it has not yet been pointed out, but I have always
considered the right place to document copyright information for
individual binary packages is <package>.copyright, which ends up as
simply /u/s/d/<package>/copyright.
I'm also surprised to not find it right away in either policy or
devref. Anyway, man dh_installdocs at least doccuments the technical
point.
An additional README.Debian at least in the relevant -dev packages
does not harm.
Regards, thibaut.
