The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that a separate
distribution tag is appropriate.

'immutable' - This tag is intended for documents which are freely
distributable, but are not modifiable.  It may not be used for software,
in any form, nor for technical documentation, but is intended for
copyrighted documents such as emails or articles which are works of
personal opinion, or descriptions of standard, or works of fiction, but
are considered a valuable part of the debian distribution.
