It has excessive attribution requirements (just like the original BSD
license, some consider it nonfree, some consider it free). Debian
doesn't accept it in main, possibly since the same decision was made
also to reject manuals with fully nonfree invariant sections.
gNewSense has different policies. Two possible solutions: convince the
upstream GNU maintainer to remove the front and back cover texts, so
Debian can include it in main and not label it as nonfree (and reducing
the amount of documentation-related work that gNewSense has to do), or
rename the package in gNewSense so it's consistent with gNewSense
policies.
