I would really like those two sections to not be in dists/*/, really. As a matter of practicality we can't put them in another tree than the typical /pub/debian or whatever, but I do think we should not have them in next to main. That's not sending a clear enough message that these things are provided because someone felt like packaging them, but they aren't part of Debian. Moving them won't make them go away of course, but in all honesty we aren't ready to totally throw away non-free yet. There are still things in it that our users often need. A good example of this is Netscape, but I'm hoping soon that we'll have a functional Mozilla to make that example go away. => -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux developer PGP: E8D68481E3A8BB77 8EE22996C9445FBE The Source Comes First! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * james would be more impressed if netgod's magic powers could stop the splits in the first place... * netgod notes debian developers are notoriously hard to impress
