To quote from the first link:

  "Data licensed under the FDL with no invariant sections are
   considered DFSG-free as of GR 2006-001"

The problem Debian has with the GFDL are invariant sections as they
restrict modification. Having no invariant sections (and no mandatory
back- and frontcover texts) avoids these restrictions thus Debian has
no problem with them.
