That depends on context. I already mentioned the one most relevant
to debian-vote.
Another of some relevance is: how do we deal with moving packages back
and forth between main and non-free.org? Assuming a package is in main,
then we determine it needs to be removed, and it winds up at non-free.org,
then gets a new license and winds back in main, how do we deal with that?
Do we rename it? Do we keep the same name and bump the version number?
What if non-free.org then bumps the version number again? Basically:
how do we coordinate? Do we "disavow all knowledge" and leave it to
the users to sort out, or do we try to solve those kinds of problems?

I don't know what you're talking about, here.
