Bug#724474: ITP: grub-legacy-doc -- Documentation for GRUB Legacy

Description : Documentation for GRUB Legacy
http://bugs.debian.org/708946 reports that the GRUB Legacy info
documentation is non-free due to the use of the GFDL 1.2 with
Front-Cover and Back-Cover Texts (cf.
http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001). The GRUB 2 info
documentation does not have this problem; but GRUB Legacy is
aggressively in maintenance mode and I do not expect to get upstream
approval to adjust its licensing.
I think the most practical resolution involving spending the least
effort on GRUB Legacy is to split off its documentation into a source
package in non-free.
