The fact that I've seen similar things on debian-legal previously.  As a
Debian developer, it's one of the lists I tend to read.  Debian also
tends to assume upstream isn't distributing things which are very
questionable.  What that means is that, you're right, it hasn't been
brought up on debian-legal, probably because it hadn't been noticed.
With RedHat making the change the question will probably come up on
debian-legal before long and if there's much doubt about it it'll
probably get removed- in the same manner as it was removed from RedHat,
which is the only way to remove the threat.
