Hi Damjan, Ah this might be a problem. Is there an OSS version besides the Mellanox one? If there is and they are API/ABI compatible then it should be fine.
If there is not, I'm afraid in Debian it is not allowed by the rules to have a dependency from a package in the main (free) archive to a non-free one (I'm not sure about Ubuntu, Christian?) However we do already support a user-supplied DPDK config file at build time (by simply setting the env var DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="dpdk_config=/path/to/config"), so the same package could be just rebuilt with a different config. Would this work for you?
