Package: dosemu
Version: 1.4.0+svn.2080-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
According to [policy section 12.5 ("Copyright information")][1], the
debian/copyight file for a "contrib" or "non-free" package is supposed
to give a short explanation of why that package is not in "main".
This is especially puzzling for dosemu, since it's entirely composed of
free software, and even has obvious applications that do not require
non-free software (unlike, say, visualboyadvance, which *is* in "main").
However, having actually looked at [policy section 2.2.2 ("The contrib
archive area")][2], I'm guessing this is because some of the DOS
executables are built using tools not in Debian?
