the unofficial amd64 archive picked up non-free once after the move from
alioth to ivanova, and has not been updated ever since. The packages
which where added at that time had licenses carefully checked to allow
distribution from a non-official site. 

If we want to update non-free again, all licenses, or at least those of
new packages need to be checked again before bothering the developers
responsable for the archive with update requests.


The current status is as follows: If you want non-free on amd64, apt-get 
source it - or wait for the arch to become official.

But please don't drop amd64 support because of this, but keep up the
good work - there are several people (including myself) using your package 
on amd64 systems.

you might want to apply the attached patch to fix the build.
