Hi all,
perhaps one way to solve for good these frequently re-occuring disagreements
would be to suppress the contrib area, and distribute its contents into main
and non-free according to their license and their dependancy chain: packages
that cause the installation of non-Free works through our packaging system
itself are definitely and mechanically non-Free, and packages that do not cause
non-Free works to be automatically installed are Free. They may be useless
without additional data, but this is the same as drivers that are useless
without additional hardware.
Cheers,
