That's orthogonal to whether it *should* be in the long description.

By my reading of Policy §3.4.2, I don't see why such a reference to a
third-party document would be important enough to clutter the long
description of this package. It should, IMO, go into the package's
documentation, if at all.

If you're saying the package documentation should have that reference,
I can agree, but the Debian packaging doesn't need to mention it IMO.
