Since the Packages* files override the Section/Priority I thought that this
is the reason that my local deb for tkman get installed as non-free/doc and
not as main/doc.
The full details are at http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=67500
Either it is my packaging or that there is some problem with dpkg or other
system tool or file.
Isn't there a way not to force a local deb for something that is not in the
distro to be installed as non-free?
