Splitting -libs package usually means that there are
_other_ software which uses only this -libs package and does
not require the "main" package of this software.

We should avoid unnecessary splitting of subpackage, which
causes only confusion.

Just because "don't install unnecessary files".
For INSTALL files, I see many people including INSTALL file without
any consideration and for most cases this file is not necessary.
The other case is that people don't include AUTHORS or COPYING
files.. 

We must check what files should be installed as documentation
carefully. On several (not a few) review requests, I comment
about documentation like "This file should be included as documentation"
or "This file is not necessary"
