GFDL with no invariant sections and no cover texts is acceptable for Debian "free" IIUC. http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices-for-Documentation.html If your manual is not published by the FSF, and under 400 pages, you can omit both cover texts. The Org manual is under 400 pages, but at ~ 250 pages it is pretty substantial. I do not know if it is published. Anyway, you need rms to answer this. If he doesn't respond anyway within a week or so then ask him directly about the invariant sections and cover texts if you want to.
