Basically all my packages use this method (it was my idea) but I don't
use a file for the short text. In the GAR spec file I have this
(pkgutil in the example):

==>
...
%copyright

Please see /opt/csw/share/doc/pkgutil/LICENSE for license information.

Then I put the actual license in the above mentioned file. Only the
line above is shown during pkgadd but the complete license is part of
the package.
