Don't we generally leave bugs *open* while we confirm such things with upstream (perhaps tagging them "moreinfo" in the meantime)? If not, I probably need to update my bug-triaging habits. In any event, I don't see what would be inaccurate about tagging this bug "sarge-ignore" if, like the other GNU FDL-related bugs in the BTS, it's not something you regard as a showstopper for the sarge release. -- G.
