Hmm... ssh should no longer be non-free, if I recall correctly. And, it looks like task-chinese-t should be in contrib. Also, it looks like netscape isn't handled consistently -- more evidence that a virtual package is the right thing here. For the remainder I think it's fruitful to consider that one of the following applies: (a) The package should recommend a virtual package which has a free instance. (b) The package should be in contrib. (c) The reverse link should be represented using enhances. Yeah, I recognize that (a) involves real work, and that (b) and (c) might annoy some people who want things to stay the way they have been. But I think classifying all such relationships into one of these categories is good from the social contract point of view. -- Raul
