I've now posted the REUSE RFC and slightly updated the proposed amendment to
RFC40. 
RFC: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/rfcs/-/merge_requests/52

Proposed amendment of RFC40:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/rfcs/-/merge_requests/49

It would be nice to clarify the situation as we are approaching the 3 month
deadline for the licensing of our package sources.

Jelle has also brought up another aspect we haven't considered in the original
RFC. Debian apparently license patches *and* some auxillary files (think
tmpfiles.d or sysusers.d) under the license of the upstream sources. This would
allow us to upstream additional files to the relevant upstream if needed without
having to seek relicensing of the files from the original author.

While we have patches mentioned in RFC40, and properly licensed under the
proposed RFC52, we haven't really considered the additional files. Some thoughts
there would be nice.
