If you can repack the .orig.tar.gz to only include the free parts, and build a working package from that, then it's fine for main. > Otherwise, the upstream source (orig.tar.gz) would include all this non-free > software. In this case, the package would only be suitable for non-free (or, if you repack the .orig.tar.gz to be free but it uses non-free dependencies to build, it could go into contrib). -- Jonathan Wiltshire 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
