Yes, that's correct.  I don't think Debian and the FSF are that far
apart here, really; it's too bad they can't agree.

It's not that big a deal for many users these days; they can read the
documentation online at the FSF web site
<http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/index.html>.

Perhaps the Debian distribution can simply point users to the FSF
manual online?  Surely such a pointer, all by itself, would not
violate Debian policy.  (It clearly would not violate the GFDL.)
