This "actual practice" is sanctioned by Policy.

     Packages distributed under the UCB BSD license, the Artistic license,
     the GNU GPL, and the GNU LGPL should refer to the files
     /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD, /usr/share/common-licenses/Artistic,
     /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL, and /usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL.
