This statement is not correct. The Debian project does not
distribute alienated rpms. The person at fault, if indeed there is
someone at fault, is the entity that used alien.

Sure, and we are responsible for global warming and the roght
hand star in cluster 12465 going nova as well. Oooh, tar can be used
to create a package of GPL'd software that does not contain the GPL,
so let us force tar to include the GPL in every archive it creates.
If this kind of silly and irresponsible blame allocation is
all you think is the cause of this, we can thankfully just let this
slide.
