I think I am beginning to come around to this. Documentaion
pertaining to software goes in main, and must meet the DFSG
requirements, all other documents, essays, books, novells, magazines
go into 'Docs' or 'immutable', and they have to conform to DFDG
(Debian Free Documents Guidelines, which is 1, 4-9, of the DFSG, with
article 2 variant to be crafted on the mailing list.) Both Main and
the new category are parts of Debian, documents that do not meet DFDG
requirements go into non-free.
