For example, putting a quaga w/openssl .deb in a general purpose "local mirror" would be a problem, probably giving it to someone on an install dvd would be a problem, but building a copy for a friend (and nothing more) wouldn't be. But you're right that that exception will be valid in some cases. -- Raul
