It's currently used on m68k, powerpc and ppc64. But it could be used on amd64 and arm64 as well since HFS/HFS+ is in principle useful on any Apple Macintosh computer, even the latest ones. > So even if partman-hfs is not used by default currently, the translations are > currently used (translators work on it, if we add partman-hfs to the > l10n machinery), so I wonder if this introduces a license issue for the > translation files? > (The po files contain the hint: > "This file is distributed under the same license as debian-installer.") This shouldn't introduce any license problems as the partman-hfs package itself is not affected by the license issue. It's just the hfsprogs package that is using the problematic APSL license. partman-hfs is just using the same license as debian-installer but it has to live in the contrib section because it depends on a package from the non-free section.
