Well, here's what I'm about to do in the next upload of stunnel4:
ifneq (,$(filter nodoc,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
override_dh_installdocs:
mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/stunnel4/usr/share/doc/stunnel4
install -c -o root -g root -m 644 $(CURDIR)/debian/copyright
$(CURDIR)/debian/stunnel4/usr/share/doc/stunnel4/
endif
Yep, I know, duplication of work and stuff, but it kind of works.
G'luck,
Peter
