There are borderline cases, such as the GFDL or free works in
non-editable formats (PS, PDF, in some cases even HTML), or licenses
or other documents of perceived legal relevance.
However, I've tried to come up with a policy which is not specific to
IETF documents, but that would allow their distribution, and I failed.
The terms are quite obnoxious, and if it weren't the IETF that is
involved here, hardly anyone would demand that documents under such a
license are to be included in Debian, I guess.
