Package: emacs-goodies-el
Version: 26.3-1
Severity: serious

It seems to me that some Emacs Lisp packages in emacs-goodies-el are
only of any use if non-free software is installed on the system,
namely: maplev.el needs Maple, matlab.el needs Matlab and tcl.el needs
the Target Language Compiler (whatever that is, but it is certainly
not part of Debian).  Therefore, these files belong in the "contrib"
section of Debian (see section 2.2.2 of the Policy Manual) and must
not go into a package in the main section.  Please remove them from
emacs-goodies-el and make a separate package of them for the contrib
section.
