Debian's position is:
: that works that don't include any Invariant Sections, Cover Texts,
: Acknowledgements, and Dedications (or that do, but permission to remove
: them is explicitly granted), are suitable for the main component of
: our distribution.

Otherwise, I think they aren't suitable for main, as before.

Including that document in Debian is a bug. If upstream won't fix the
bug, I can't see how you can, sadly.
