All content of d/README.Debian is redundant, obsolete or inaccurate so it is better to remove it.

-This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the Linux
-manual pages. These pages were originally maintained by Rik Faith
-and then taken over by Andries Brouwer <aeb@cwi.nl>.
-
-This package was initially put together for Debian GNU/Linux by
-Martin Schulze <joey@debian.org> and updated by
-Nicolás Lichtmaier <nick@debian.org>.
-
-This package contain the Linux man pages for all chapters
-except 1, 6 and 8.
-
-Some pages present in the upstream version were removed because a better
-version exists in other package. These pages are:
-
- manpages:
- console.4, fd.4, ttytype.5, passwd.5
-
-This package doesn't include section 1 manpages included in the upstream
-package. The upstream manpages author decided to include GNU utils
-non-official manpages here, as the FSF doesn't want to maintain them. I
-agree with him, but these manpages should be added to the corresponding
-Debian package of the GNU utilities, not here.
-
-Having manpages is very important to every operating system. It is much
-work to keep those documents up to date and to initially write them.
-Nevertheless some folks made some of this work. Contributions are
-welcome.
