Re: non-free Packages as build-dependency of contrib / non-free ones & autobuilding

[Charles Plessy <plessy@debian.org>]

Hi Andreas and everybody,

I think that it would be acceptable to ask the maintainers of packages for
which auto-building is not allowed their opinion about dropping support for
them. This would solve the problem entirely, and aren't these packages rare
cornercases? I could not think of examples where we can redistribute a package
built on a DD's computer, but not build it ourselves.

Do we have a list of such packages?

Have a nice week-end,
