"If a person wants to install non free software, she finds lots of ways on the internet to do so."

Exactly, so there's no need for the Debian Project to do so.

"I don't see any practicle difference if it is offered and documented by debian instead of somebody else."

As you say, people can find information about how to install non-free software on the Internet so there is no need for the Debian Project to also do it. To quote from http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/compromise.html

"The issue here is not whether people should be able or allowed to install nonfree software; a general-purpose system enables and allows users to do whatever they wish. The issue is whether we guide users towards nonfree software. What they do on their own is their responsibility; what we do for them, and what we direct them towards, is ours. We must not direct the users towards proprietary software as if it were a solution, because proprietary software is the problem."
