While the host part indeed needs to be contrib because a bit of 16 bit code requires a non-free compiler, and the alternative, EFI, is not really ready, I consider having the _guest_ outside main to be a packaging error. Mostly because it prevents d-i from supporting VirtualBox. I reported this as #709899. -- ᛊᚨᚾᛁᛏᚣ᛫ᛁᛊ᛫ᚠᛟᚱ᛫ᚦᛖ᛫ᚹᛖᚨᚲ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
