We're generally not worrying about documentation licences too much until
sarge+1. I will not be uploading a new package immediately because the
RFC needs to be removed from the .orig.tar.gz, and since openssh is what
it is and has cryptographic signatures for its source tarball
distributed by upstream, I would rather consult them first.
