True enough. Also, we can't just take the non-us packages and
stuff them in non-free either; I think non-us and non-duetch are more
similar than not.

Umm, no, since then I could not get non-us software from the
non-us sites (and legitimate german users could not download from,
say, uk). No mirror program actually looks at the control file, so
you don't mean just the mirror sites.
