No. /usr/share/doc/base-files/FAQ:
Q. Why isn't license "foo" included in common-licenses?
A. I delegate such decisions to the policy group. If you want to
propose a new license you should make a policy proposal to modify the
paragraph in policy saying "Packages distributed under the UCB BSD
license, Artistic license, GNU GPL and GNU LGPL should refer to the
files in /usr/share/common-licenses". The way of doing this is
explained in the debian-policy package. As usual, you should always
take a look at already reported bugs against debian-policy before
submitting a new one.
The bug has to go to debian-policy. Anybody having a clue how many
packages we have under the LPPL in Debian now?
hille@kloetzer:~ $ apt-cache search --names-only texlive|wc -l
93
That makes at least 100 given there are a lot of other package under
the LPPL.
