But we still endeavour to provide a working set of packages in non-free and
contrib. So, if a package in non-free or contrib has a release-critical bug
against (I.e. it doesn't work, essentially) then it should be pulled from
frozen, or fixed. Fair enough?
I.e., I (I filed that bug above..) wasn't suggesting that slink should be
held up for lyx. I was simply suggesting that either lyx should be removed,
or the bug fixed. (In fact, it turned out to be a tetex bug, which has been
fixed).
