madison
It strikes me as extremely ironic that Debian, defenders of the free^WFree
world, still have things such as madison which are not generally available,
yet are generally extremely useful.
Why isn't madison released? Every time I want to check the status of my
packages across architectures and distributions, I have to manually poke
through the pool. Not fun. At all.
Why, if we're so dedicated to being Free, that the Social Contract points
out contrib and non-free aren't part of Debian, and that packages are
expected to meet the DFSG, do we have stuff like this? It worries me
somewhat (and annoys me because I can't use madison). Even if it has some
auric-specific stuff, such as hardcoded locations, that's pretty easy for
anyone with half a brain and the source to fix.
