Fine with me, altough if both are acceptable, then there is no reason a
package maintainer (or an upstream) may not decide to move the META file
there by default.
In fact i don't understand what is the reasoning behind not choosing to
use a single directory only for debian package (and write it in the
policy) even if findlib does also accept META files in stdlib subdirs
for backward compatibility reasons.
