Hi Jonathan, although p4 is non-free it could probably be distributed in the non-free component of Debian, couldn't it? When I look at the TOS (http://www.perforce.com/downloads/terms-use) I guess that any other proprietary software that is distributed in non-free has similar license agreements.
Anyway I believe that having git compiled with Python support enabled could be useful for different purposes as well. I found the following changelog entry: > git-core (1:1.7.0~rc1-1) experimental; urgency=low > [...] > * debian/rules: NO_PYTHON=1.
