Hi Ben
Lenny is Debian. non-free is not part of Debian. Check the Social Contract.
I wonder what is it that we do wrong to spread this confusion so much that it
affects even Debian developers themselves.
What is this to blame? Would it be the FTP archive layout? Perhaps having an
unified BTS?
There are some problem with terms/words: they are inconsistent, sometime
also along the same documentation file.
BTW I'm trying to document it: http://wiki.debian.org/PolicyGlossary
Anyway:
From policy: "The main category forms the Debian GNU/Linux
distribution."
But I'm not sure that Lenny is only Debian:
From http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release
(thus using 'dak' terminology):
: Origin: Debian
: Label: Debian
: Suite: testing
: Codename: lenny
: Date: Mon, 04 Aug 2008 08:39:59 UTC
: Architectures: alpha amd64 arm armel hppa i386 ia64 mips mipsel
powerpc s390 sparc
: Components: main contrib non-free
: Description: Debian x.y Testing distribution - Not Released
So lenny is made from main (Debian), contrib and non-free.
