When a file has multiple licenses, you can mention the license as "License: Expat and RFC-Reference" and add a comment section stating the doctrings are licensed under RFC license. I took a hint for how it's done in gnupg2 package[1]. You could do something similar here for the description of the RFC, hopefully this should work. I personally don't care too much about this being mentioned or not, but FTP master would likely reject the package if copyright is not perfect so here we are.
