Unfortunately it does not seem that clear, because policy states, that packages for its inclusion in main "must not require a package outside of main for compilation or execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Depends", "Recommends", or "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-main package)". So according to the policy (as I understand it) steam (which is - as of what I've got from in this discussion - GPL) would go to main, as it is *not* non-free nor does it require any non-free software to be installed. Even if it is *used* to install non-free software, it does not depend on it (via the usual depend mechanisms). So in sense of the policy, steam would be a main-candidate. But it seems that here arepeople, that either do not accept this or interpret it other then I do. Regards, Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
