Yeah, failing arguments, you play with words, how usual of this thread.
You and i both perfectly know what we mean, so this is not a problem.
And more to the point, do you really think moving the non-free stuff out
of the debian archive and onto a separate archive would be something
more than a fiction to make you non-free removal advocate happy ? Do you
really believe that the same people confunding debian/main with
debian/non-free are not the same one who think that apt-get.org is part
of debian also ?
