Then you should reopen the bug (or remove the fixed tag), retitle it to "Previous non-free content should be reincluded under a free list" and set the severity to wishlist. Having an NMU that removes the files doesn't stop you from readding them later when you and upstream have come to a conclusion. > Fixing RC bugs just for the sake of making the RC bug count down is not > the best thing to do IMHO. Putting a temporary fix in place while a permanent one continues to be worked out is /exactly/ the right thing to do. Cheers, aj
