Given that this had a lenny-ignore tag and has been open since December
2008, I'm not happy giving it a squeeze ignore tag. Please note that
this isn't a comment on if the package severity is correct or not, or
the interpetation of the licence means that it's free/contrib/non-free,
it's just that I'm not happy ignoring this issue for yet another two
years.
