Good to know. I had something like this in mind, but wasn't sure. Could
you then please look a bit at the package and make sure that it gets
fixed or otherwise contact the archive-maintainers to remove it?

Well, maybe someone who is using gnome already. I think the person needs
to be familar with gnome in some way to maintain the package really.

Could then some people try to solve this issue? It doesn't look very
good to use a software without any licence for creating a debian CD. I
think it would be good, if lha would get a free license.
