I don't think is the case. The .orig.tar.gz files only have to be purged of non-free stuff if that stuff can't be distributed at all. AIUI, it is perfectly acceptable to have non-free stuff in the .orig.tar.gz file that is removed by the debian patch. > With a migration plan, Emacs _the program_ has a chance of staying in > Debian. Simply removing all of the man and info pages is not a difficult task. If the emacs maintainers can't handle that before November, then I'll happily consign emacs to non-free [1]. Regards, Walter Landry [EMAIL PROTECTED] [1] Yes, I do use emacs. For example, to write this email.
