I agree that this would be a lot better.

I checked the policy manual and the requirements seem to be that
a) /usr/share/doc/package/copyright exists in each binary package and
b)  debian/copyright exists in the source package

[1] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile

In order to satisfy b) I think that it would be desirable
for debian/copyright to exist in the distribution tarball.

It might be easiest to teach configure how to convert copyright.in
into copyright, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that.
So instead I handled things using automake.
