[...example text for /etc/init.d/README...] The Debian Policy Manual is ofcourse also available as a debian package.
I suggest being more specific here. Something like: The Debian Policy Manual is also available in the Debian package `debian-policy'. When this package is installed, the policy manual can be found in directory /usr/doc/debian-policy. This is more helpful for those looking for documentation *right now*, so that they don't have to figure out where to look.
