Requirements on upstream README and information that's useful within Debian differ. It often contains information about building, installation or bug reporting which is not relevant to Debian. It is not said that upstream README's are useless per se; I think W.Borgert's point is the following: judge each upstream README on its own merits. I agree that currently many people will automatically install this README in the /u/s/doc dir, regardless of its contents, while it would make more sense to make a judgement whether including it actually adds value.
