The subject says you're moving the ChangeLog file, but you're in fact
moving all docs files. I don't think it is right to move the COPYING
and COPYING.LESSER files - I think those should say in libvirt-client
so that they're always present for any possible libvirt sub-RPM install.

In fact I believe this is required by packaging guidelines

 Subpackage Licensing

 If a subpackage is dependent (either implicitly or explicitly)
 upon a base package (where a base package is defined as a 
 resulting binary package from the same source RPM which contains
 the appropriate license texts as %doc), it is not necessary for
 that subpackage to also include those license texts as %doc.

 However, if a subpackage is independent of any base package (it
 does not require it, either implicitly or explicitly), it must
 include copies of any license texts (as present in the source)
 which are applicable to the files contained within the subpackage.
