So file a bug with alien. As I said in another thread,
``enforcement'' by alien is really the problem if the person running
alien; not of the Debian project, really.
People making rpms and not distributing said RPM's with the
GPL shall have the fleas of a thousand camels infest their beds, or
whatever punishment you choose. But their trnagressions do not belong
on debian policy.
