Can you please explain why Debian is allowed to distribute these files?

Because the license grants the right to reproduce this document?

I am not a native English speaker but I understand "reproduce" as making only copies.

                                                                 Isn't
distribution a form of reproduction when we are dealing with immaterial
works?

All other licenses grant the right to copy and to distribute, so there must be a difference between both.
