Looks like a good idea, but...

...we have them! :( Here's a couple examples:

$ git grep -E '_(LICENSE_FILES|SUBDIR) =' -- package/samba 
package/berkeleydb/
package/berkeleydb/berkeleydb.mk:BERKELEYDB_SUBDIR = build_unix
package/berkeleydb/berkeleydb.mk:BERKELEYDB_LICENSE_FILES = LICENSE
package/samba/samba.mk:SAMBA_SUBDIR = source3
package/samba/samba.mk:SAMBA_LICENSE_FILES = COPYING
$

Setting SAMBA_LICENSE_FILES to ../COPYING does not look very nice to me.
