I also recommend to read the article "Maintaining
Permissive-Licensed Files in a GPL-Licensed Project: Guidelines for
Developers" by the Software Freedom Law Center, to be found at
<http://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2007/gpl-non-gpl-collaboration.html>.

While this won't answer anything Debian-specific, it's generally
interesting to read.
