I guess that what I'm arguing is that we're telling the user how to get
the GPL by adding the pointer to common-licenses, which in essence
supersedes for Debian packages the need to go get it from the FSF.  If
someone wanted to provide both sets of instructions, that's certainly
okay, but I don't see a reason to require it.
