"not changing things" is effectively a removal of non-free: Some bug-free contrib and non-free packages are waiting for more than one year to enter testing since they were not rebuilt on all architectures. If support for Debian is re-affirmed, there needs to be some action like e.g. setting up separate buildds for contrib and non-free. > Cheers, > aj cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
