Should a README.txt not cover all examples, or should the file simply
have another name?

Please forgive me. Lintian has a lot of tags. Would you please point
us in the right direction?

$ find tags/ -name '*generic*'
tags/p/python-module-has-overly-generic-name.desc
tags/p/privacy-breach-generic.desc
tags/h/header-has-overly-generic-name.desc
tags/m/manpage-has-overly-generic-name.desc

Kind regards
