Hello
I noticed that the GMP manual includes cover texts which could
actually be removed. The maintainers guide says
If your manual is not published by the FSF, and under 400 pages, you
can omit both cover texts.
The GMP manual meets both criteria by my count (145 pages). The GMP
manual is currently not in Debian main, and removing the cover texts
would make that possible.
I've attached a patch for the gmp unstable branch below, the same
change could be made to the other stable branches.
