Uhh, remove that package, and dozens of my machines go down or perform 
very slowly.  Please don't.

I depend on this one, and I don't think the bug is a big concern.

On a side note, I see a lot of messages in there about "package foo
not DFSG-compliant".  Why should you delete them?  Why not just
arbitrarily move them into non-free instead?  This will fix the
problem with a whole lot less hassle.
