thanks

I don't understand the resolution of this bug: the package includes (or
used to include?) a GFDLed manpage with Invariant Sections (or rather,
marked as entirely invariant).
Upstream has shown to be willing to relicense the manpage "to conform
the standards of free software you adopt in Debian", there have been
NMUs and then the maintainer acked the NMUs, closing the bug.
But, according to the debian/copyright of the "fixed" version[1], the
manpage is still GFDLed with Invariant Sections.

| The hasciicam manpage is distributed under the terms of the GNU Free
| Documentation License, with the Invariant Sections being NAME,
| SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION, AUTHOR and with the Front-Cover Texts including
| "hasciicam - (h)ascii for the masses! - manual pages".

This situation does not comply with the DFSG.
Why wasn't the manpage relicensed under the GPLv2?
Is the current debian/copyright accurate?
