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.
