The original agreement was superceded by the social contract changes,
and affected more than just GFDL docs. The appropriate reference was
http://people.debian.org/~ajt/sarge_rc_policy.txt. That reference hasn't
been changed to reflect the new social contract, and the new policy isn't
being acted upon yet, since this whole thing's still under discussion,
though.
