I would be happy to hear more feedback on this from people. I am
trying to decide on the best course to take (this file changes rarely
and last changed in 2005). I plan to put something in place by rc1

I'd lean towards having COPYING in the kernel subpackage and
installing it in a versioned directory - trading a very small amount
of disk space for upgrade safety and simplicity.
