FDL 1.1 has never been approved for debian AFAIK. Why aren't they using
the current version? I'm slightly worried by that. I guess 'or any
later version' lets you upgrade it in the package.
FDL 1.2 with no covers or invariants has been special-cased by
http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001
but I don't understand why.

I'd suggest the same licence as the rest of the software: that will make
it easiest to move things between program and manuals.
