I'm quite certain this software can't enter Debian main, and I'm unsure about non-free, as in includes dumps of boot records apparently copyrighted by Microsoft, and even if there wasn't this they don't come with the complete source code. You may try packaging ms-sys-free instead, but I don't know how useful that package would be. -- Cheers, Andrew
