Exactly my point!

Thanks for clarifying.

I really do like it, if Debian packages have a
README.Debian, that gives "quick start" infos, as most
other stuff is already prepared to "work out of the box",
one just needs to know, how to use it "on Debian".

As mentioned above, I like the quickstart info, if upstream
has more docs, the above text could have some "For more
details, see the docs in ...".
