Sure, but installing from debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/ with dh_installdocs

Given that you are installing the file in d/rules already, the line in
d/docs should be removed.

opyright claims to drop the (C) and to add

verbatim. IANAL, but reformatting is probably not justified.

You've added a wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog override. What name

Built-Using with the justification that it's an
