I wonder if the FSF will ignore the fact that Debian has removed non-free
documentation from its distribution that the FSF considers free, i.e. their
own documentation distributed under the - under Debians view - non-free
GNU FDL. Can or will they endorse a distribution that strips off their
own documentation?

Non-free is for GNU documentation.
