Standard txt file showing as part of pkg-perl

[Gunnar Wolf <gwolf@gwolf.cx>]

Hi all,

This is as a followup to a discussion we had on Alioth[1]. Nomeata
wanted to add a file in /usr/share/doc/<pkg> pointing users at either
Alioth, the mailing list or the BTS depending on the nature of what
they need from the team.

I would prefer something not that intrusive. I think repeating a file
over and over in all of our modules (specially if we aim at handling
hundreds of modules as a team) is not nice - That's the reason we have
/usr/share/common-licenses. I suggested adding this note in
/usr/share/doc/perl/, but Nomeata is right in pointing that it should
be in each of the packages. He suggests adding the note as a line or
two in debian/copyright - I like the idea. Before doing a mass-change
of every module in our repository, I wanted to check with you if
anybody oposes.

Greetings,
