... which (just to complete your point for the archives) you can get
at by adding "non-free" to your /etc/apt/sources.list (this is etch):
(0) heretic /home/keeling_ egrep -v '^#|^$' /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://debian.mirror.rafal.ca/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
deb-src http://debian.mirror.rafal.ca/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
"non-free" in the case of documentation is licencing crap. Legal
mumbo-jumbo which has nothing to do with stepping on authors' rights.
