As of September of 2011, there were only 31 packages in the archive
referencing AGPL version 3, which falls short of the normal threshold of
inclusion in common-licenses by at least a factor of 10. Unless the
number increases significantly, I think packages that use the AGPL should
just include a copy of the license. (Nearly all licenses in
common-licenses are referenced by at least 1000 packages.)
I'm accordingly marking this bug wontfix, but I'll leave it open for a
while in case there's any further discussion.
