All packages *do* already have such files. Documentation files
for package <package> are intended to be in the
/usr/share/doc/<package> directory. Configuration files in
Debian are (or should be) accessible from the /etc directory.
If a given package doesn't do this, then this particular
package has a bug (but not the Distribution as a whole).
Frankly, this is a pretty standard thing and many people would
want it. Why would you think the packages don't have such an
important feature?
