Justification: Policy 2.1.1, 2.1.2
debian-legal has recently decided that the GNU Free Documentation
License is non-free. Therefore, at least libc.info* must be removed from
the package. Additionally, the copyright file contains the following:
* The code to support Sun RPC is taken verbatim from Sun's
RPCSRC-4.0 distribution, and is covered by this copyright:

Sun RPC is a product of Sun Microsystems, Inc. and is

without charge, but are not authorized to license or
distribute it to anyone else except as part of a product or
program developed by the user.
The license places restrictions on distribution as an independent work,
failing DFSG 1. It also fails DFSG 3 because it prohibits distribution
of modifications of the original work as modifications (as opposed to a
new project).
