Package: vrms
Version: 1.27
Severity: wishlist
Hi!
fonts-ubuntu is shipped by default on Ubuntu systems. It has significant
reverse dependencies and cannot be uninstalled easily.
Debian considers fonts-ubuntu to be “non-free”, while Canonical
disagrees. But vrms lists fonts-ubuntu as non-free also on Ubuntu systems.
Recently I have seen two Ask Ubuntu questions where users have run vrms,
found fonts-ubuntu to be non-free, and tried to uninstall the package:
* https://askubuntu.com/q/1292336
* https://askubuntu.com/q/1292751
This situation is unfortunate. Given the difference in opinion, I would
suggest that vrms does not count fonts-ubuntu as non-free when built on
Ubuntu systems.

This should be filed as a bug against the vrms package in Ubuntu, not
the one in Debian, as the Debian package sounds like it's working
exactly as intended.
