I don't think so.  Wasn't Nicholas's report about how to deal with
cases where upstream permits "License A or License B" but the Debian
maintainer for a package is only interested in one of the two (for
example, how and whether to avoid distributing a copy of the GFDL-1.1,
which is not part of common-licenses and whose terms do not comply
with the DFSG, for a GFDL-1.1+ work)?
