Hi,
While completely off-topic (at least for -mentors), I still feel the need to
respond to this.
The DFSG defines what free software is. An important freedom (IMO) is #3, the
freedom to modify the program and distribute modifications.
However, this freedom is pretty useless (to people who want
Just to chime in:
IMNSHO:
It really makes little difference if software is packaged in main or
contrib. The way I see it both have software available under a
DFSG-complient licence.
Because sometimes there is software in contrib that actually is usable
without non-free software, although it use

There is a target in debian/rules which can sift the upstream tarball
to produce an .orig.tar.gz if needed. Most oft

You just encountered the case where you need to repackage the source

Hint: Look for an existing "Request for package" bug and retitle it

There is no sense in packaging the server currently, as normally
users are not allowed to use the data sources. The data itself is
free only for the users
ant, j2sdk1.4 and j2sdk1.5 are in contrib or non-free so your package
couldn't go to main. (ant is moving to main, but j2sdk1.x are not!) The
section (in debian/control:Section) should be contrib/utils
Did you tried to build/run it with free tools (kaffe, jamvm, sablevm,
gcj/gij, jikes, etc.
