well, as the installer packages (and thus the install media) are autobuilt in main, i think this is the clue of the problem. > > Why not simply have a non-free set of install media, and be done with it, > > sounds like a much sanner proposal, without legal hurdle, just in need of > > technical work. > Because I am interested in improving Debian, not some non-free > derivative. So, what is the difference in having non-free firmware in the non-free section of the debian archive, or having non-free firmware somewhere as of yet undefined, and then magically added to the installation media, which would then be held in the debian archive. I think having a non-free set of installation media together with a free one is by far the more promising solution, and the more honest as well, and on top of that doesn't need a GR.
