Free speech has nothing to do with forcing distributions to propose all free software (what Debian and Parabola do not do either). Actually, I would even argue in the opposite way: every GNU/Linux distribution must be free to select whatever package they want. Notice that your stance would also entail that "not proposing proprietary software is against freedom of speech".

By the way, notice that the package name means "Virtual rms" although it does not represent rms' opinions on what is free/unfree. In particular, vrms reports the GNU FDL documentation as unfree! I agree with the Trisquel project that it is "misleading". If the package name would represent rms' opinions, its implementation in Trisquel's repository would take one Shell line (and would be pointless):
echo 'No non-free package installed. rms would be proud.'
