Maybe. If/When I get time to wade through the various licensing
issues... Some of them *may* have license problems[1] and I need to go
through that. Therefore - and actually in coodination with Ubuntu (see
below, though) - we removed then.

This side-effect is irrelevant for this bug report because this is the
Debian BTS and not the Ubuntu BTS. If you want to report something at
Ubuntu, do it  there, not here.
