Yeah, you see that is the whole problem. This whole plan to remove non-free is highly dependent of the non-free package maintainer finding the time for putting up this non-free parallel infrastructure. Time we could be spending on more usefull things. Also, it is a bit hypocrit to find it ok to have non-free back then when you needed netscape and acroread, but today that you don't need them anymore, you want to remove non-free without regard for the other people whose non-free need are not yet eliminated by equivalent free software. And i cast a doubt on the quality of any such third party infrastructure. Friendly, Sven Luther
