License Must Not Be Specific to Debian [..] Sorry, I just skimmed through this thread, but as we are talking about a package for non-free (due do sourceless libraries) that's not a problem, isn't it? No problem for a package in non-free to break another clause of the DFSG while already breaking some. As long as Debian has the right to distribute it (including Debian mirrors) it's okay for non-free.
