I've tried, but the upstream author aims at reducing friction with the
emacs development community, which in its wide majority refuses to
dual-license under GPL+GDFL, instead thinking Debian should revisit its
position and allow GFDL-licensed items to be packaged. Nothing new here,
I'm merely hinting that the inclusion of this dual-licensed
documentation in the upstream source package is quite unlikely :)

I will apply your patch, and then I believe we can close this bug ?

Cheers, and again thanks a lot for the clarification (especially under
the form of a patch, heh),
