This permission is sufficient to get SELFHTML into non-free. Since it
is specific to Debian, it can't go into main. I got a rough
translation of the license from Babel, and it seems like there is some
restriction on modifications. I can't tell for sure, but that might
also keep it out of main. It isn't a problem for non-free.
The wording on the exception should be fine.
