Public bug reported:
Well I figured out that with installing unrar one gets the proprietary
unrar version and not the free one. For this one has to install unrar-
free.
This is really confusing because:
1.) In the spirit of a free operationsystem the free package should be the
obvious and simple named one and the nonfree version should have an appendix.
2.) It's a different naming sheme than applied to unace because there the
packages are correctly named unace for the free version and unace-nonfree for
the nonfree version.
My suggestion is renaming the two unrar packages to:
unrar-free -> unrar
unrar -> unrar-nonfree
Edit: I saw after sending this bug-report that also you in the launchpad
bugtracker use the term unrar-nonfree for the package and not unrar! So
should the packge be named also.
