Actually, it's probably not possible -- we need some way to distinguish typoed package names in bug submissions and random third party non-free packages to maintain the current quality of the BTS at the very least (so that someone can at least have a chance of noticing a bug filed against net-base, and reassiging it to netbase, eg). So this means that "non-free packages hosted on a given site" would be the best thing possible. I'd be highly reluctant to do even that personally, if other people are maintaining packages, they're the ones that should be tracking the bugs in them. What sort of non-free site would Debian want to enter into a partnership with? Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <aj@humbug.org.au> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
