Requesting removal of GNU Emacs manpages now? Better move Emacs to
non-free.

This "cruft" doesn't hurt and is not likely to be modified (who's gonna
modify RMS speeches and GNU Manifesto?). It is neither documentation
nor program (considering that documentation is part of software now).
Removing such files won't make Debian more free, IMO.
