Package: grml-debootstrap
Version: 0.68.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
Firstly, I was quite surprised to note that installing Debian with grml
defaults to including non-free -- is this really the default we wish to
ship in Debian?
Having discovered that, I set the following in the config file:
COMPONENTS='main'
and found that I then got errors regarding the lack of availability of
firmware-linux
Attached is a patch that makes the inclusion of firmware-linux conditional
on the presence of non-free in COMPONENTS.
