I tried to understand what would be the best for users, which is an
important point of the Social Contract. But now I admit that the GNU
view of the subject cannot be working with the Debian view of the
subject, because GNU is not going to provide manuals without these
invariant sections and because Debian is not going to ships texts with
these invariant sections (whatever their nature).
