The logo was added in response to a bug report (with patch) [2]. [1] http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p/plymouth/plymouth_0.7.2-5/plymouth.copyright [2] http://bugs.debian.org/573760 This Debian logo mess should really be solved once and for all. What do other debian-legal regulars think? Since it seems [3] that the Open Use Logo with the "Debian" text will stay non-free, as will the Official Use Logo, I think we should start filing serious bugs against any package in main having these logos (any Debian logo, except for the Open Use Logo without the "Debian" text, which is the only DFSG-free Debian logo).
