From the faq:

Q: I'm writing documentation to accompany a free program. What license should 
I use for this documentation? 
A: We strongly suggest you use the same license as used for the program. Then 
it will be possible to take code and put it into the documentation, and vice 
versa.

I know a faq is not a law, but seems all doc-licenses are not DFSG friendly. I 
thought the CC but looks like this one neither is good for debian. ¿May be 
dual licensing FDL/LGPL?
