Source: binutils

Justification: http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001.en#amendmenttexta
While preparing the copyright file for a cross-binutils package that
would use binutils-source, I noticed that binutils-source includes
some documentation licensed under terms that do not permit
modification in portions, that debian/copyright doesn't seem to mention.
Namely:
Files: bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo bfd/doc/bfdint.texi ld/ldint.texinfo
License: GFDL-1.3+
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 or

Invariant Sections being ``GNU General Public License'' and ``Funding
Free Software'', the Front-Cover texts being (a) (see below), and with
the Back-Cover Texts being (b) (see below). A copy of the license is
included in the section entitled ``GNU Free Documentation License''.
.
(a) The FSF's Front-Cover Text is:
.
A GNU Manual

(b) The FSF's Back-Cover Text is:

You have freedom to copy and modify this GNU Manual, like GNU
software. Copies published by the Free Software Foundation raise
funds for GNU development.
The sections became invariant in binutils-2_18~433 (bfd.texinfo: Use
@copying around the copyright notice, 2007-05-22) but the ChangeLog
doesn't mention that. Maybe it wasn't intentional.
