Hi, FTR, I believe Holger is referring to [1]. At first glance, it seems to mostly apply to this particular case. I say mostly because it is not immediately clear to me that we got an exact license (combined with "... and there is *no doubt about the license* of the files [...]""" from [1], emphasis mine). That said, provided that we *are permitted* to distributable, I see no issue with the -ignore tag for Wheezy. Should it turn out that the files are in fact non-distributable, the -ignore tag will have to go and we would need a stable-update to fix it. ~Niels [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2014/03/msg00409.html
