I would put it not only under a different distribution, but also under a
different part of the archive:
debian/dists/potato/main
debian/dists/potato/contrib
debian/dists/potato/non-free
debian-data/dists/potato/main
debian-data/dists/potato/contrib
debian-data/dists/potato/non-free
the main section would contain the free data. non-free would be non free
data and contrib would contain free data for which there aren't free tools
available. I don't know if this last bit is a good idea -- the data _is_
free and one would be able to reverse engineer the format.
