As long as the binary packages `Depend:' (or `Recommend:') the package
containing /usr/doc/source-package and they install a symlink
/usr/doc/binary-package this solution is fine with me.
(All this is necessery to make sure /usr/doc/<bin-pkg>/copyright always
exists.)
However, this isn't a big difference to current policy so I bet it
wouldn't make things much better. (I still like your suggestion, though.)
Any other opinions?
Thanks,
Chris
