Description
As part of Debian packaging, lintian reports that we are shipping documentation outside of /usr/share/doc, primarily 2 README files
Below is the warning we get from the lintian program in Debian
I: python3-avocado: package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc [usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/avocado/etc/avocado/scripts/job/post.d/README]
N:
N: This package ships a documentation file outside /usr/share/doc
N: Documentation files are normally installed inside /usr/share/doc.

N: If this file doesn't describe the contents or purpose of the directory it
N: is in, please consider moving this file to /usr/share/doc/ or maybe even
N: removing it. If this file does describe the contents or purpose of the
