Hi,
Section 2.4.4 "Documenting your changes" contains a paragraph talking about
the copyright file, but that doesn't fit in the contents of the paragraphs
before and after, which talk about the debian/changelog file. Furthermore,
placement of both the copyright and the changelog files in the binary
package is explained in sections 6.6 "Copyright information" and 6.8
"Changelog files". Therefore, I think this paragraph should be removed.
I doubt this proposal needs to be voted on (seconded|objected to), since
it doesn't change the spirit of the text, it's typographic.
