After I pressed the send key I just had a similar thought: We should
probably not drop some free code in favour of non-free code. I'm also
not convinced that the glam2 code inside meme is free any more (should
be double checked - otherwise we might be able to *extract* this code
from the source tarball of meme and split it into meme-free /
meme-nonfree parts.
In contrast to Charles suggestion I had the following package scheme in
mind:
glam2 binary builded from old glam2 source
glam2-nf (glam2-nonfree, whatever name) builded as one binary package
out of others from meme source
Both binaries need to conflict each other.
Kind regards
Andreas.
