If we are worth our salt we should not be allowing DFSG violations past "testing" and developers should be aggressive about filing bugs on errant packages. I can understand the necessity of providing certain users non-free drivers to help them get their equipment going. Serious users should be selecting equipment that won't have install problems. Last time I checked, this was a distribution for serious users (that also happens to want to be friendly to people just getting started). I fail to understand how serious Debian Developers arrive at a point where enforcing the DFSG is an exercise for "zealots".
