I think we are in vigorous agreement, but your tone makes me hesitate.
Let me summarise my understanding:
File status: DFSG-free non-free but Not
redistributable redistributable
--------------- ---------------------- ------------------
Presence Can and Currently removed Must be removed,
in .orig should be from .orig's by some so .orig tarball
.tar.gz included. maintainers. I think must be repacked.
this is a waste of
time.
Removal or May sometimes IMO necessary to Insufficient.
inhibition be useful to prevent accidental
by dpkg-src avoid acci- use, and to facilitate
pattern or dental use. licence review
rm by rules
Do you agree ? In particular, do you agree that repacking .orig
tarballs to remove non-free-but-redistributable files (such as RFCs
and non-free-GFDL docs) is a waste of time ?
