Excerpt from /usr/doc/gstep-base/README.Debian
The GNUstep packages use a directory layout that doesn't conform to the
FSSTND, therefore the packages go into the contrib section of Debian.
This isn't a valid reason, is it?
Excerpt from Debian policy:
Examples of packages which would be included in "contrib" are
[...]
* packages which we don't want to support because they are too
buggy, and
* packages which fail to meet some other policy requirements in a
serious way.
If GNUstep is buggy, then the former applies.
If GNUstep doesn't fit FSSTND/FHS then the latter applies since FSSTND
is policy.
