Hi Charles and Debian Med ,

I tried to contact the author of locfit , but unsuccessfully .
The author is Catherine Loader , but the email addresses on the website  
http://stat.bell-labs.com/project/locfit/index.html
are not valid . I tried to find other addresses  , and wrote a message 
but didn't get any answer , so I assume that they also are not valid .

So if no one has objections against non-free than we can distribute it 
in non-free .

Btw there is a new upstream version , I'll add it to git later during 
weekend .

Best regards ,
Alex
