Dear release team, yocto-reader has a RC bug that was filed for multiple licensing issues. After discussing with the bug reporter and getting advice from debian-legal (thanks for the input), it seems that at least one of the issues is a clear violation of our Policy (I will not discuss others in this email, you can read http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=507579 for more details).

My first objection was that if yocto-reader is a server, then the dependance of the Google javascript happens privatley on a remote computer and is not an issue for Debian. However, people may also want to install yocto-reader on their machine through the Debian package to use it locally. In that case, relying on the download of a remote component makes the package unfit for Debian. I checked that commenting the <script> section that downloads the Google javascript breaks yocto-reader. Since yocto-reader was not distributed in Etch, is a leaf package and has a Popcon score of 5, I suggest to remove the pakcage from Lenny in the absence its the maintainer.
