I agree. And I strongly disagree with Ian's suggestion to demote it to contrib.
As I understand it, lutris is usable with software in main via the ScummVM
runner and the two ScummVM games in main. And lutris only installs stuff if
the user explicitly asks it to. So the possibility to work with non-DSFG
content is not a problem. Unless Debian also decides to move to contrib:
- Any compiler which does not check for DSFG-freeness of the code it compiles.
- Any emulator which does not likewise check the thing emulated.
- Any web browser which does not decline to show non-DSFG-free content.
