Package: libbluetooth1-dev
Version: 2.25-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

libbluetooth1-dev contains a README that explains two things:
* how to compile the package (useless for Debian, as it's supposed to
  already be compiled)
* where to find more information, which can also be found in
  README.Debian, in more detail.

Policy 12.3, "Additional documentation", says

    It is often a good idea to put text information files (`README's,
    changelogs, and so forth) that come with the source package in
    `/usr/share/doc/<package>' in the binary package.  However, you don't
    need to install the instructions for building and installing the
    package, of course!

where the latter appears to be exactly what this package is doing.
