Subject: [PROPOSED] Change package relations policy to remove references to non-free from main

Package: debian-policy
I assume we are all aware of the discussion a couple of months ago
about removing references to non-free from main. There was a consensus
this should be done and a consensus was formed to do this via a new
Enhances relation for packages.
Enhances works in the opposite direction from Suggests: it allows a
package a to state that it can enhance the functionality of a package b.
So instead of package b declaring a Suggests on package a we now make
package a Enhance package b.
Using this we can remove all Suggests from packages in main to packages
outside of main by replacing them with an Enhances-declaration in the
non-main package.
Detailed listing of changes needed in the policy manual:
2.1.2 The main section
Replace the first item with:
* must not have a relation with or need a package outside of "main".=20
(thus, the package may not declare a "Depends", "Recommends",
"Suggests" or other normal or build-time relationship on a non-main
package),
Detailed listing of changes needed in the packaging manual:
8.2 Binary Dependencies
Add `Enhances' to the title of the section
Add the following to the list of relations:
`Enhances'
This field is similar to Suggests but works in the opposite
direction. It is used to declare that a package can enhance
the functionality of another package.
`dselect' will offer a list of packages that enhance a package if
the enhanced package is selected for installation.
Wichert.
