added to Trisquel?
*recommendations/suggestions* of non-free or contrib packages (packages B, C,
and D) won't exclude a package (package A) from Trisquel repositories.
Practically speaking, packages B, C, and D won't be installed because they
are not in Trisquel repositories.

packages. I'm curious if that would be accepted if it was that easy to modify
the .deb file.
That is the basic functionality of a package-helper which are in use at
Trisquel (https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers). It is easy.
