RTFM, huh? :^)
Well, the Debian New Maintainer's Guide says nothing (that I can find)
about sending a package to unstable/non-free, only unstable.
The Debian Packaging Manual says to use 'non-free' as there is no
distinction between stable|frozen|unstable in the non-free distro.
This entry is to be made in the changelog.
However, the reason I am asking it that there *is* a distinction
among stable|frozen|unstable in the archive. I have a full local
mirror to look at to check that. Unless I am mistaken about the
location of all those (regular) files under dists/unstable/non-free/
I am more than willing to go by the Packaging Manual and mark it
non-free, and let the archive maintainers place it by hand. I was
just hoping there was a way to automate it to save them the trouble.
Or is it already automated?
Thanx again for your time. :^)
Cheers!
