My 2-cent contribution.

After a long thought, I believe it shoud be included in multiverse,
perhaps depending from a meta-package like "media-codec-ugly-
multiverse", in a similar way as the "gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-
multiverse" is done. We should consider that .ape format is quite
popular, and supply the package as a migration tool to the flac format
and clearly deprecate its usage as an audio compressor.

Of course, I feel uncomfortable with the custom so-called opensource
licence, but it's up to the author to decide about it. As he never asked
to remove or stop the mac-port project, I think he can bear with it, so
I see no direct copyright infringiment.

Should distribution become more and more questionable on author's
requests, we could always remove it even from the multiverse repository,
which hosts software for which is user's responsibility to check whether
he has the right to use the software or not.
