Hi again,

I actually question if we need our current level of division, which is already
lower than in other distributions.  How often do people enable contrib without
non-free ?  Doing so would be to install packages such as the ones discussed
every year on that list, which do not trigger installation of non-free
material, but are narrowly specialised to some non-Free, non-packaged data or
code.  That could go in main, and the rest in non-free, without major changes
the definition of these two areas: main is DFSG-free and self-contained from a
packaging point of view (I do not see workable alternative points of view), and
non-free contains packages which, when installed, cause non-Free materials to
be installed automatically on the system with apt's default configuration.

Cheers,
