Debian GNU/Linux to Declare GNU GFDL non-Free?

[1]Syntaxis writes "There's some considerable argy-bargy in
progress over whether or not GNU's own [2]GFDL is a Free
documentation license at all. At issue are "invariant
sections" which cannot be removed from derivative works.   
Check out the [3]thread culminating in the [4]proposed motion
to take action. The current consensus on Debian-legal does  
indeed appear to be that one of the FSF's own licenses is   
non-Free under the terms of the Debian Free Software
Guidelines! Well, documentation for GPLed projects
[5]countermanding the very freedoms embodied in the GPL
certainly seems insane to me."
