Well, to the best of knowledge, Version 2.0 of CC licences are a no-no for 
debian. It's very possible that Version 3.0 CC-BY and CC-BY-SA will be 
accepted by debian.

Debian is the most "restrective" distribution when it comes to licences, so if 
you can find a solution that works for them, it's very likely that it will 
works for everyone else.
