That's why ding does not depend or recommend agrep but only suggests it. IIRC Debian policy allows a package in main to suggest packages from non-free. Can you live with this explanation, which means that we can close this bug report or do you prefer to tag the bug report as wontfix, because I will not remove this suggests from the package nor will I rewrite a free replacement of agrep...
