I understand your position and the new rewording is more informative, if you were a stranger in Debian my refusal would be outright, but in your case in a personal way I support your (Rolando included) initiative mainly because I deeply admire all the great work you have done, and as you know I want to help in the Spanish L10N of the book. The problem for me is that DPN is not about personal point of view, is a responsability to inform about the Debian Project and on behalf of it, so the reason of my decision is based on avoid exceptions that serve to set a precedent about the Debian Project encouraging and promoting monetary support (via advertising, fundraising campagins, etc.) to some of its members. As an example of the problem for me, if the mention about the campaign to raise funds to allow the English L10N and the "liberation" of your book appears in the DPN, what prevents that other mentions like this one [1] does not appear? I found very difficult to take a position on this subject but I try to be objective and of course I'm fully open to discussion, but as I said before, I agree to respect the decision reached as a team (and if this is not achieved, the decision taken by Alexander Reichle-Schmehl as main editor), so I suggest we wait for the views of team members who have not been expressed yet.
