this would be a perfect solution which will work for a user like me.
This will also avoid the need for creation of an additional
"nonfree-but-gnu" section, which was not liked by debian developers.
All I want is to be able to continue to do once I put nonfree into my
sources.list (to get FSF manuals) is to be able to "apt-cache search"
while restricting my results to "free".

when you put nonfree into your sources.list, how do you apt-cache
search while restricting the answers to the "free" section?
