Huh? Whether such a library is "normally distributed with the major components of the operating system" isn't related to the existance of emulation libraries. That doesn't matter, though. Debian is never eligible to use the "operating system" exception, due to "unless that component itself accompanies the executable". -- Glenn Maynard
