Hi Jonathan,

You are mixing up GPL and DFSG. GPL says that the source code needs to
be provided at least at request (and it in this case it is pretty easy
to obtain the source code). So the software in itself does not violate
GPL. What the package actually is violating is DFSG because we agreed
upon to provide the sources directly from our mirror. So the RC bug is
fine but the package is no release candidate anyway. I seriosely
consider all our time very much better spend if we would fix RC bugs in
packages in testing and not wasting it on leaf packages in experimental
which are no candidates. These are my last words in this bug report
until Debian 7.0 is released.
Kind regards
Andreas.
