An empty file isn't a copyright file ;)
Hava a look at the Policy Manual as proposed.

Hm have a look at the Policy Manual, section 8.2 and this [1] thread.
Maybe this solves your problem.
"8.2 Run-time support programs
If your package has some run-time support programs which use the shared
library you must not put them in the shared library package. If you do
that then you won't be able to install several versions of the shared
library without getting filename clashes.
Instead, either create another package for the runtime binaries (this
package might typically be named libraryname-runtime; note the absence
of the soversion in the package name), or if the development package is
small, include them in there."
