elfutils is not an example of removal from non-free. It was in main.
I
filed bug #221761 after a debian-legal discussion pointed it out.
And ? The fact that it previously was in non-free but is now in main
doesn't count ?
Was it? It's not now in main. The "initial upload" elfutils upload was
to main in July 2003 (version 0.84-1). It was removed from main on 9th
December (bug 221761). When was it in non-free?
[...] The packages are not more actively
removed, because nobody, including the remove non-free proponent, care
enough about it.
As far as I can tell, Andrew Suffield and others are working as much
as they can on reducing non-free through analysing licences and
explaining the DFSG in that context. I doubt you have any reason to
accuse them of not caring enough.
