As a technical solution to your problem, you could use /etc/apt/preferences to ensure that you don't get any non-free packages except those you specifically consider "free enough", such as autoconf-doc. The following (untested) snippet should work: Package: * Pin: release c=non-free Pin-Priority: -1 Package: autoconf-doc Pin: release c=non-free Pin-Priority: 500 - Josh Triplett
