Well, the packages would be exactly the sames, the Debian BTS would be used, just that the FSF would maintain a main only mirror or something, with maybe a mirroring trick to integrate a set of packages the FSF considers as free and which are not for debian. They could even strip the recommends/suggests to non FSF-free packages, and everything would be fine. Not sure about conflicts though. Friendly, Sven Luther
