Eh?  I'm having trouble understanding "how we do things now, if the
binary distribution becomes multiCD".

Right now, /usr/doc/copyright/{GPL,LGPL,..} is a part of base-files,
which is an essential package, and it's on the base disks (at least
that's the way it is in the "current" disks-i386 in hamm).

I don't think that I'm expressing a new requirement.
