Package in main now has component linking to non-us
[please CC me on reply]
I'm looking for advice about where to put a new binary package.
xdelta2 is in main. New release has an additional binary that links
to sfs-lib, which is in non-US. This new binary package (xdfssrv)
does not contain crypto code, it just uses crypto-based services from
sfs.
I was wondering whether all of the packages could still be generated
from the source package that lives in main, and have xdfssrv be put in
contrib.
-> pools for main and contrib ar separate, so this is a problem
-> iirc policy says that contrib is for stuff that needs things in
non-free, not non-US
So I guess what I would fell intuitive does not work.
OTOH, doing otherwise seems to imply duplication of the source code
between main and non-US/main. That's 1.2 MB tar.gz. Big waste of
space...
Someone has a better solution ?
