I think that's actually handled by the previous paragraph:
<p>
Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its
copyright information and distribution license in the file
<file>/usr/share/doc/<var>package</var>/copyright</file>. This
file must neither be compressed nor be a symbolic link.

not that everyone realizes that would apply to the Debian packaging files
as well as the upstream source.
