That comes from the elvis package. The MS-DOS stuff is probably because
Debian tends to distribute all the documentation, even stuff pertaining to
MS-DOS ports of various programs. Probably that's so packages don't have
to be massively changed if they ever make a Debian MS-DOS distro ;)

That comes from the developers-reference package.
Every package makes a directory in /usr/doc that contains at least the
changelogs and copyright information for the package. Any other random
documentation (READMEs. FAQs, sample configurations, etc) for the package
usually goes in there as well.
