To my understand the "copyright" file is something Debian specific.
This does not exist in my upstream project but is "generated" by my

Correct. Which is what you were asking about.
IMHO not. But that seems to be because of our different perspectives.
And lintian has an extra-license-file tag for such packages.
https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag/extra-license-file
Ah... Now, we come closer.
But what about LICNESE file and a LICENSES folder for multiple
licenses
files?
What about them that wasn't answered in the email you quoted and in the
Policy?
To my understand that wasn't answered.
Regarding the lintian tag am I assuming correct that Debian GNU/Linux
does not care about a LICENSE file or LICENSES folder?
So there is no real problem to have a LICENSES folder?
The "copyright" file will exist (downstream) no matter if there is a
LICENSE file, a LICENSES folder or any of this.
Correct?

Christian
