Strictly speaking those are not installers. The source is available in the debian archive, we just can't distribute compiled binaries from it. Installers for gratis, non-free binaries much more often take the form of the old realplayer installer: Download the binary and drop it somewhere, possibly deal with upgrades to the binary, and when removed, delete the binary. -- see shy jo
