(c.f. 10.7.3) Unless the README is actually a configuration file, it should be in /usr/share/doc, perhaps named as README.configuration if there's a different README already there. Please don't confuse the fact that files in /etc are configuration files -- which is defined by policy 10.7, and READMEs don't qualify -- with the fact you can have files in /etc be *conffiles*, which is one possibly implementation of the requirements policy sets for configuration files. -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
