The general problem here is, that upstream sometimes provides the filenames
of optional docs in uppercase. But the policy wants them to be lowercase.
What would be a more general solution to rename those files? If upstream
provides a README, should I use dh_installchangelogs as well?

If the above lines of code (renaming the CHANGELOG to changelog) are
acceptable, I'd rather have the 1.1.0 solution than using an epoch. In the
future I'll take more care when creating an .orig.tar.gz.
Maybe I can convince upstream to change his mind so he removes the "non
commercial" clause, so a new upstream version will undo this faux pas ;)
Kind regards and thanks again!
