Andrei, Thanks for your post too. That is how I understood Stefano's post. Hence, why I stated "It is up to the package maintainer on how to proceed."
Osamu, Sorry if I made you feel as though you were violating the DPL. That is not the intention. The specific comment which lead to the reporting of this bug was mentioned by Andrei. You can find it in the first paragraph of Zak's email[2] which states: "I think we should either get Debian in FSF [free-distros list][1], or document (from our POV) why Debian is not there. I'm looking for Debian volunteers interested in the topic and willing to participate in a joint Debian / FSF team that will work toward that goal without prejudices. The ideal outcome is an agreed upon list of Debian "bugs" that need to be solved, according to the usual Debian mechanisms, and with no special treatment due to their "political" origin" then in the "Next steps" section it states: "If we want to advance on this topic --- and I think we should, for the reasons mentioned above --- the needed exercise is to work with the FSF to review the issues they claim apply to Debian. It will essentially be a bug triaging exercise. Some of the bugs will be valid, some of them will be not, and on some there will be disagreement between submitter and "maintainer"." [Continues on...] Also as far as what Trisquel is. Trisquel is a Ubuntu derivative endorsed by the GNU project, we are downstream of Debian. We do sometimes report freedom bugs we find upstream[1] if they apply to Debian as well. We will always fix the issue downstream if need be but we prefer to get it fixed in Debian ideally because then in our opinion many other distros benefit.
