Very true. It's just so unfortunate that ATi, NVidea and others don't distribute there drivers in source code with a DFSG acceptable licence.

Until that happens Debian users which want to use this non-free stuff are basically on their own, and must do it this way.

Oh I don't know, nvidia-glx is easy enough to install on Debian from non-free

The biggest problem for ATI users is there's no reasonable packages in Debian or elsewhere - and to be honest, any DD who took on the support nightmare of fglrx is insane.
