Damned, that's a problem - who decides ? Sounds like this would need
a GR like for the FDL :)

It's just that there is a debian/ tree in upstream SVN, because I
happen to have done this and other things in that project. And I
don't know what's the policy is about this for packages for which the
legal status for each part has not been settled - it's not just about
CC, it's mostly about those textures that original devs copied from
who-knows-where presuming it was OK to do so...
