Hmm, sorry.
But your install(1) invocation doesn't work, I think? It doesn't get
installed to the /usr/share/doc. I think you need to be copying into

Maybe, but that's an issue to raise on Debian Policy mailing list or
bugtracker, not here.

Yeah, It's been discussed numerous times. Look in the debian-policy
list archives.
