	So file a bug with alien. As I said in another thread,
 ``enforcement'' by alien is really the problem if the person running
 alien; not of the Debian project, really.

	People making rpms and not distributing said RPM's with the
 GPL shall have the fleas of a thousand camels infest their beds, or
 whatever punishment you choose. But their trnagressions do not belong
 on debian policy.
