Package: gnus
Version: 5.11+v0.5.dfsg-3
Severity: normal

According to bug #334909, all the GFDL documents have been removed
from the package.  This leaves Gnus with no documentation at all (the
Gnus info files from the emacs documentation are from version 5.9.0
intead of No Gnus 0.6).

|   * Remove GFDL documents from upstream source and generate a new tarball,

Instead of removing it, shouldn't it be moved to a new package in
non-free, as it have been done with the GFDL documents of the emacs
package by moving it to emacs21-common-non-dfsg in non-free?
Something like gnus-non-dfsg or gnus-common-non-dfsg.
