Thanks for your work on GENtle, I begun reviewing your changes
for upload, but found out the source shipped a newly introduced
docs/manual.adoc under GFDL license.  I'm afraid I saw nowhere
upstream mention they would apply it with no invariant sections,
so it is probably not DFSG compliant[1].  Way forward would be
to convince upstream to adjust the licensing terms of their
documentation, or declare docs/manual.adoc in Files-Excluded.

That being said I saw nowhere in upstream documentation that
there were invariant sections neither, so maybe this does not
apply.  I would feel more comfortable uploading the source
without that file though, unless we have unquestionable
confirmation that no Invariant Sections apply.

I have not spent much more time to check the state of the
package from purely technical perspective.  However if that
helps, I haven't located any other licensing issues.

Have a nice day,  :)
