I'm not sure if that's ever been done for other packages missing an
OpenSSL exception that we don't link with OpenSSL.
If you've actually got the time and inclination, I would suggest
instead modifying the OpenSSL related part to work with gnutls
instead. [I've heard there are some wrappers which make this rather
easy, but I haven't done it myself.]

Dropping non-free would set us back at least, what, 300 packages? It'd take
MONTHS to make up the difference, and meanwhile Debian users will be fleeing
to SLACKWARE.
And what about SHAREHOLDER VALUE?
