Debian Policy 12.5:
"Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its copyright
and distribution license in the file `/usr/share/doc/<package>/copyright'."
This requirement is met:
$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/perl/copyright
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 848 2006-12-07 10:31 /usr/share/doc/perl/copyright
The file is provided by the perl-base package:
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/doc/perl/copyright
perl-base: /usr/share/doc/perl/copyright
"`/usr/share/doc/<package>' may be a symbolic link to another directory
in `/usr/share/doc' only if the two packages both come from
the same source and the first package Depends on the second."
perl-base is specified as a dependency of the perl package.
The packages from the perl source install documentation under
/usr/share/doc/perl. A symlink is included to 'perl' in all packages
other than perl.
