The licenses of license files are irrelevant, but the licenses of documentation are not, and this bug should rightly have been filed against gcc-4.0-doc, assuming that the copyright file which is included in the libgcc1 package applies to that package as well. Personally, I think only those licenses that belong to a certain package should be in that package's copyright file, but that's for someone else to argue. Anyone? For the record, I did the following: grep 'Free Documentation License' `find /usr/share/doc/ -name copyright` and libgcc1 showed up.
