I support excluding mp32ogg from Debian for this reason. We want to respect
the wishes of the upstream developers, and we want to help promote free
software in every way possible.
Including software that is likely to tarnish the image of a good free
software project in favour of a non-free project is not something that we
want.
Besides I expect that anyone could write a simple shell script to do the same
thing.
