I think it's clear that the DFSG would have to be modified. If nothing else, the DFSG's "may restrict ... _only_" clause does not allow include this case, because patches which would change invariant sections at build time are not allowed. More literally, the answer to your question seems to be: "No, not meaningfully." On the other hand, we've had strong majorities for good suggestions in the past. So "DFSG would have to be modified" should not be considered an obstacle -- we just have a somewhat stiffer requirement that the idea be a good one. -- Raul
