This is a serious policy violation; however, it will likely be ignored
for sarge by the release manager. From
http://people.debian.org/~ajt/sarge_rc_policy.txt:
-----
1. DFSG-freeness
Code in main and contrib must meet the DFSG, both in .debs and
in the source (including the .orig.tar.gz)
Documentation in main and contrib must be freely distributable,
and wherever possible should be under a DFSG-free license. This
will likely become a requirement post-sarge.
-----
However, it remains a bug. (Furthermore, it seems easy to fix, and
the essays in question are surely more conveniently obtained from the
FSF's website.)
