In fact really great. Having extra libraries in a package which are
existant in Debian always causes problems. We actually prefer to just
use the Debian packaged version. So it is good news if you stripped
unneeded stuff from the tarball (if I understood you correctly).

Can you please be a bit more verbose about this non-free stuff. For
instance:
1) Is it possible to use MediSnap without these non-free additions
(even if the functionality is reduced)?
2) What exactly is this non-free stuff and where can it be downloaded?
3) Is it binary only or is there also the source code?

Does this mean we can/need leave out the non-free part because it will
not run on Linux anyway? This would answer all questions above in one
rush and would simplify things from a packagers perspective.

Yep. :-)
