I don't see it is a disagreement between Debian and FSF.  More of a
disagreement between the FSF and itself, as its philosophy and practise
disagree on manuals.  The FSF philosophy says that manuals should be
free but the FSF practise is to distribute non-free manuals.  That's
non-free by the FSF's own measure.

Be sure to point out when the good circumstance occurs. :)

I wish that Michał would post his text into the thread so we can discuss it.
