Once the package conforms to the Free Software Definition, we shouldn't worry about which license a project uses. The GNU position, generally, is that the GPL is the best way to protect software freedom. It could be argued that preferring GPL software to BSD software is a good thing since it may encourage the use of the GPL. It could also be argued that preferring an inferior package based on license weakens the system. It could also also be argued that not using *their* Free Software because they don't use our #1 favourite license divides the community unnecessarily. The community is under enough attacks from outside, lets not help our enemy too much. Finally, this is Debian, both packages can be in the Distro, so really, this discussion is redundant.
