Source: tar
Version: 1.26-4
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1
Usertags: gfdl

doc/README says:
Unfortunately, the info document describing tar is licensed under the GFDL with invariant cover texts, which violates the Debian Free Software Guidelines. As a result, the info documentation for tar has been completely removed from the Debian package. Instead, we deliver a tar man page that was created from scratch for the Debian project.

However, the doc/ directory does include the non-free GFDL documentation:

$ ls tar-1.26/doc/*.texi | wc -l
14

The previous upstream version didn't have this problem:

$ ls tar-1.25/doc/
Makefile  Makefile.in  README
