If we think it is popular enough to ship in non-free, why not in main? qmail propably still has a considerable user base, not requiring them to /unnecessarily/ go the 'apt-get build' way seems to be a good thing. OTOH if qmail afficionados won't use the package anyway since it will be quite a bit different from upstream's default (FHS, not-using non-main DJB software ucspi-tcp and daemontools.) there is not much point. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
