I've contacted the FTP master in question today, see: https://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/2015/11/msg00038.html If I also don't get a reply from any of the FTP masters on that, I can try to get the discussion going on the debian-legal list, ask advice from the technical committee, or DPL (project leader).
