Dear Maintainer,
AGPL-3 license is not present in the base files.

This forces me to include verbatim the very long text of the license which
also gets duplicated if many binary packages are generated.

For ease of read from FTPmaster it would be preferrable to have the text
in base-files so that it can just be referenced.

This kind of requests should be handled by the policy group first, as
explained in the base-files FAQ. I'm reassigning the bug.

Thanks.
