The README.md uses a mixed d/* and debian/* convention to reference files inside the debian directory of a source package.

Reasons for accepting this Pull Request:

  • standardized naming convention (debian/*)
  • although d/* is commonly used, it is technically incorrect and can be misleading or confusing to newcomers.

Reasons against accepting this Pull Request:

  • MIR bugs are mostly filled out by experienced persons who know the d/* convention
  • the d/* convention is commonly used, because of limited horizontal space in debian/changelog files and launchpad bug descriptions (intended use of the template)

The `README.md` uses a mixed `d/*` and `debian/*` convention to
reference files inside the `debian` directory of a source package.
This commit standardizes the `debian/*` naming convention.
Although the `d/*` convention is common, it is technically incorrect
and can be missleading or confusing to newcomers.
