On the one hand you say that there's a copyright issue, but reading the Ubuntu bug it seems that Ubuntu's src:chef in fact contains cinc. I take it Debian's doesn't? In which case the copyright issue would seem not to be a relevant reason for removal? On the other hand you say you think that we should remove the Chef package because there are not going to be future upstream releases which are free software. Could you provide me a reference, please? All I can find online is that there is a new requirement to perform some renaming in the contents of the package, not that new releases will be DFSG-nonfree. -- Sean Whitton
