This is not distributable by Debian, which means we are violating
copyright law. It needs to be removed from stable/oldstable too (see
devref link below, reportbug release.debian.org) and possibly
snapshot.debian.org (reportbug snapshot.debian.org) and
archive.debian.org (reportbug ftp.debian.org).
