I guess that both the license and the README.txt actually belongs to
/usr/share/doc/$package, that's what debian policy tells us to do. IIRC,
documentation browsers like dhelp and the default webserver's
configurations publish /usr/share/doc so that users can browse package
documentation.

So moving these files and symlink them to where the package expect them
seems to me the right thing to do.

Yeah, I've really got used to that mode. :-)
