Package: debian-reference
Version: 2.46
User: trisq...@trisquel.info
Usertags: libreplanet, trisquel

I am reporting this bug because Stefano Zacchiroli has called for a
"free-ness assessment" [2].  It is up to the package maintainer on how to
proceed.

*Summary:* Package
debian-reference<http://packages.trisquel.info/source/brigantia/debian-reference>advises
the user that non-free software is a solution to problems.

*Versions Used:*

   - Operating System: Trisquel 5.5
   - Package: debian-reference
(2.46)<http://packages.trisquel.info/brigantia/debian-reference>

*Steps to reproduce:*

(From the terminal)

   - sudo apt-get install debian-reference
   - debian-reference

(Program opens documentation in browser)

   - Click: HTML (multi files)
   - Click: 9.7.8. Non-free hardware drivers

(Documentation states:)

   - "Although most of hardware drivers are available as free software and
   as a part of the Debian system, you may need to load some non-free external
   drivers to support some hardwares, such as Winmodem, on your system."
   - ect.
