I've worked a little bit on the package:

t-gnus (6.17.2.00-1.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
  * Using dpatch
  * Added reference to the common license file for gpl
  * Moved postrm to prerm, as the latter is the right place
    for install-info --remove.
  * Removed double spaces in description

The package is  now updated, lintian free,  and it works (I'm a t-gnus
user).

However I discovered that the texi info documentation is GFDL. Shall I
package a non-free t-gnus-doc for it?
