That's true, but it seems pretty unlikely that an embedded system would
have any documentation installed.

That seems a bit harsh; I think sarge would be quite usable for this
purpose, as long as you avoid GFDLed bits. Is there anything GFDLed in
Debian that isn't in /usr/share/{doc,info,man} ? Embedded systems
generally rm -rf those directories anyway (which is one reason why I
brought up the issue of the copyright files).
