Strictly speaking those are not installers. The source is available in
the debian archive, we just can't distribute compiled binaries from it.

Installers for gratis, non-free binaries much more often take the form
of the old realplayer installer: Download the binary and drop it
somewhere, possibly deal with upgrades to the binary, and when removed,
delete the binary.
