There is nothing in the phrase "a Debian-specific" licence that
implies that anything has been signed by Debian (whatever that means).
An unilateral declaration saying "I hereby allow my program Foomatic
to be distributed in source and binary from by all Debian mirrors" is
a Debian-specific license. It is perfectly good for non-free even if
it is light-years from contrib or mein.
