I nuked this inside the updated spec.

http://www.netlib.org/linpack/archives/readme says:

  Questions/comments should be directed to lapack@xxxxxxxxxx.

Looking on their archives [1] I see some question about this from a few
years ago, which was answered:

  "Basically it is BSD."

The additional documentation from Universität Bayreuth was auto-generated
from the source-files, so I consider them covered by the same license as
the code-sources are.  Same goes for the DQRDC2 routine which is a modified
version from LINPACK's original DQRDC routine.

I added some clarifing comments about that inside the spec.


> * I prefer packages to install their docs into /usr/share/doc/<package>.
> Installing docs into <package>-doc seems quite nonsensical to me.

Is there any guideline telling me where the contents of a doc-subpkg has to be
located? There are a lot of packages providing the documentation from the
doc-subpkg inside <package>-doc:

  * boost-doc
  * gtk2-devel-docs
  * kernel-doc
  * xorg-x11-docs

Just to name a prominent few.  So I would consider doing so is somehow common
pratice.
