The Chocolate Doom package at http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/chocolate-doom is currently sitting in the multiverse repository due to it recommending/suggesting non-free chocolate-heretic, chocolate-hexen, and chocolate-strife packages. In upstream Debian, it has been moved from contrib to main and the package currently for Ubuntu 16.04/Trisquel 8.

Since this is free software and GPLv2, wouldn't removing the those recommendations/suggestions make it free software and can be considered to be added to Trisquel? Like a package helper that takes the source, recompiles it, and creates the .deb file without the recommendations/suggestions to those chocolate packages.

I'm curious if that would be accepted if it was that easy to modify the .deb file.
