Flash removed from etch - process explained?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


From a recent message on this list I saw a link to the 4.0r3 etch release
http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/2008/msg00000.html

Going to that link I see that they have removed flash
Closed source and no security support


It also says
The complete list of all accepted and rejected packages together with
rationale is on the preparation page for this revision:

  <http://release.debian.org/stable/4.0/4.0r3/>


Going on to that page - there is no mention of flash at all.

What is the normal Debian procedure here? How can I find out who/how this decision was made and why?

Please note I am expressing no opinion or trolling. I'm just trying to get more insight into the Debian 'psyche'

Your comments appreciated

Brian
