Or maybe an explicit debconf question about the non-free nature? This
could make sure that no one will get non-free software installed without
explicit consent and take the burden off the CD team to prepare another
set of CDs etc. (Of course anything on the CDs must be distributable).

Fine control of allowing certain non-free drivers (and/or documentation)
without enabling the whole 'evil empire' of 'non-free'. Simpler
installation from CD/usb/etc (network cards etc.).
