Policy 22.8 is not ambiguous, which is the release that added the
option to not include all copyright information in debian/copyright
(previously all copyright information was required). When this change
was made, they specifically said:
“Note that there is no change to the requirement to copy *all
licensing information* into /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/copyright.”
I do agree that without this statement in 22.8 it would be ambiguous.

@Soren,
I get your point now. It seems I was wrong in excluding autotools files
from checking in lrc.
@Phil,
I'm tempted to invert the original title of your bug report.
rather than saying
Bug#1099786: Exclude files that are part of build e.g. autotools
Seems to me, it could instead say
Bug#1099786: Do not exclude autotools files from checking.
That would enable me to close the bug.
Regards,
Peter
