Uh, that's not specific enough.

What actual license is used?

 Surely we don't need a package for a single HOWTO?  Couldn't this go
 into either doc-linux or iproute or something?

It'll only go into doc-linux if it's uploaded to the LDP. (Perhaps
that's a good idea anyway, of course.)

This (great!) HOWTO is part of the LDP, and as such is already packaged
in the packages doc-linux-text and doc-linux-html (look for
'Adv-Routing-HOWTO')

Ah, but the one on the Adv-Routing-HOWTO is very outdated. How can we
update that?

Get the author to upload a current version to the LDP, and it'll be
picked up in the regular doc-linux upload next month.

This license as quoted does not grant permission to modify the document,
which is required for a license to meet the DFSG.  Would it be possible
to get formal clarification on this point from upstream?
