RFR: JDK-8215381: Investigate if current implementation of --license-file is correct for Debian packages

[Alexey Semenyuk]

There is a bunch or resource names with "deb-" prefix. My assumption 
about this prefix was that these names are related to control files for 
Debian packaging, i.e. special files that go into DEBIAN directory. 
copyright file used to be one of them. However this was not correct. 
There should be no DEBIAN/copyright file at all. Instead copyright file 
should be installed at /usr/share/doc/<package>/copyright location. To 
reflect this change I removed "deb-" prefix.
There is param.license-type.default resource name that is RPM specific, 
so I don't think there is any inconsistency.
