I didn't want this to be a discussion of whether people in general 
should or shouldn't use the GFDL. Rather, I'm interested in what *we* 
*are* going to do, given Debian's (draft) policy on the matter[1], and 
WordPress's existence in Debian[2].

So -- Are we okay with the Debian package shipping without any 
documentation at all? Or are we going to include some bare-bones 
installation instructions under a different license? Or what?
