The ftpmaster statement about the AGPL was remarkably explicit.

    recently we, your mostly friendly Ftpmaster and -team, have been asked
    about an opinion about the AGPL in Debian.

    The short summary is: We think that works licensed under the AGPL can
    go into main. (Provided they don't have any other problems).

I'm not sure what requirements you have, but I have a hard time imagining
much done in the project that is more obviously a delegate decision.

I don't think the secretary currently has that power under the
Constitution.
