Horizon seems to use python-selenium. The problem is that, in Debian,

remove any possibility to run the unit tests, which isn't nice.
Thank you for the heads-up.
Selenium is used for tests during development, it is not a runtime
requirement at all.
Would that still make it non-free for Debian?
BTW. this is identical for openSUSE.
How did Horizon went into Debian packages at all, since the situation in
this front is unchanged for at least a year (just curious).
At least here, our horizon test package just doesn't depend on selenium.
This could help: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/35649/
Could you explain why Selenium is considered to be non-free?
Assuming you're referring to the 'python-selenum' package in Debian,
Google throws up this:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=636677
"the package ships some files which are not yet built from source."
This also matches our (as in openSUSE's) definition, python-selenium ships:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/amd64/x_ignore_nofocus.so
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/x86/x_ignore_nofocus.so
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.xpi
While in theory they could be build from source, it's simply too much
effort. Also, it depends on selenium (the Java thing) which to my
knowledge isn't part of any OSS distro because building Java packages is
the biggest PITA of all. Usually, such packages are available in
3rd-party repos. Still, we have to patch it away.
