Bug#764982: Backports when the danger is contrib and non-free

And sadly discovered that 'contrib' and 'non-free' were enabled ... I have installed with RC1 and with RC2, but I cannot remember that I have seen that! Maybe you have used a nightly build? I am interested who did this when you are correct. Enabling non-free and contrib in sources.list is a very stupid idea because Debian is about DFSG software and non-free is not DFSG, and contrib needs non-DFSG software. I don't think this was a diskussion, this was maybe somebody who don't know Debian. Or somebody who does not care about free software, and wants to provocate a bit. But backports main is DFSG software and an official part of Debian. Or an official Debian service, like Turbo prefers.

Facts: * /var/log/installer/lsb-release says 'build 20150324' * the is from 2015-03-30 Enabling non-free and contrib in sources.list is a very stupid idea because Debian is about DFSG software and non-free is not DFSG, and contrib needs non-DFSG software.

Well, I asked a fair question I think. I knew the answer (but I could be wrong - I haven't been paying attention to Debian GNU/Linux matters in years): Is anything but main part of the official Debian GNU/Linux distribution? If not, it should not be enabled _by default_. Right? So I still think it can, and should, be closed. Done. If not for all the other reasons, then that? There have, in any case, been numerous cases against enabling it, but NONE for enabling it. And no, I want it and I use it is NOT an opinion FOR it! :) Besides, we had this exact argument for weeks (months) about contrib and non-free 'in the day'.
