Package: ftp.debian.org, src:nvidia-graphics-modules
Severity: normal

The nvidia-graphics-modules provides pre-compiled non-free
kernel modules. Several lawyers and people believe this to
be a violation of the GPL license used by the kernel.

This interpretation is consistent with our position on ZFS
modules, which we also ship in source code only.

As such, the work is not distributable and should be
removed from the archive in all suites, ASAP.

I'd rather we left (old)stable well alone.
