The RFC's are standards. They can be freely copied, published, modified
and rereleased. The only thing you cannot do is CALL IT THE STANDARD.

If you write RFC-31337, and someone CHANGES the specification, you don't
want them to call it RFC-31337. That has absolutely nothing to do with
"freedom".

Debian is wasting time butchering any package that includes RFC's. Now,
if it came up with technical reasons, such as "we don't want every package
supporting the same RFC to include a copy, it leads to duplicates", then
I say fine, you have a point, let's work on this issue.

Openswan has given basic cart blanche to Debian maintainers to maintain
the debian/ directory. Why not send us an update that ensures the RFCs
are not packaged on Debian? That way you don't have to create this silly
"dfsg" package.
