This sort of mindless sophistry accomplishes nothing. Requiring source
does not make programs non-free. Failing to provide source is what
makes programs non-free. The contents of the Debian archive is not
non-free just because we require source.

In most cases, requiring layered formats for source is going to result
in getting layered formats for source. It is obviously the correct
thing to be distributing; upstreams who have it but don't distribute
it probably just didn't think of it.

Cut it out.
