r394: * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,

     after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
     itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
     minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
     backwards-compatability.
