ok, i think i came across in a wrong way, because that is certainly not what i want! but look at it this way: if we have a package that contains totally non-free firmware which is required to make it work, we basically have a few choices: 1. the whole package has to go to non-free 2. the package is split up into a non-free part and one that goes in main, which then cannot depend on the non-free one 3. the same, but with a dependency and the parts go to contrib and non-free respectively if i understand things correctly than option 2 is what we are trying to do with the kernel in the moment (correct me if i am wrong), and the only thing i am saying is that having a package A which will not work (in some cases) without package B should declare some kind of relationship on it. simply because there *is* a relation between them... doesn't that sound reasonable to you? cu robert -- Robert Lemmen http://www.semistable.com
