Hi steve.
As discussed in another thread, there are certainly other packages
affected by the big-brother syndrom, or other diseases. Therefore a
generic method is necessary to put them apart. I already proposed to
restrict the definition of "free software" with new criteria, beyond
open-source and free redistribution. Packages needing systemd library
would then fall by this criteria in the non-free repository.
For badly infected packages like systemd itself, if they were
provided, there could even be a dramatic warning in the description, in
the anti-tobaco fashion, "Systemd is against freedom".

I support this idea. Put all the systemd stuff in a 'quarantine' repo with the
appropriate 'use at your own risk' caveats.
