And to close this, we have decided to ignore GFDL issues in Wheezy and
Squeeze provided that the problem is limited to conflicts with the
DFSG.  Should there be any bugs where the GFDL license with invariants
causes more issues (e.g. making the result undistributable), then they
are *not* eligible for an -ignore tag[1].

Thank you for looking into this,
