The only problem I can see with this is that we don't want programs which
aren't distributable in some places to be under /dists/hamm/binary/ on the
ftp tree. If things which can't be mirrored/sold in certain places are in
the main distribution, then if you run an ftp site in Germany, you can't
mirror the main distribution -- you've got to check each and every
package (*) as you mirror it. This goes for CD images, too -- we'd have
to release an 'Official Debian CD Set' and an 'Official Debian CD Set
German Edition' because the former would contain any packages in the main
distribution.
* through some sort of dpkg flag -- is in 'dpkg --non-duetch file.deb'
would return true, or something.
