Thanks for your comment.
As much as I understand the sentiment, I don't think installing these
files purely as a nicety does justice to the interests of end users
expecting to find actual documentation in that very place.
A quick read of their comments and frustration on the launchpad bug
referenced in the package changelog clearly shows there's no better way
to acknowledge upstream's hard work than simply keeping the debian
package up-to-date.
