But vrms lists fonts-ubuntu as non-free also on Ubuntu systems.
I don't understand why this happens: if it were shipped in
multiverse or restricted, I'd understand, but AIUI fonts-ubuntu is
part of ubuntu's main section, which should be detected as free by
vrms...
Right, it's in main in Ubuntu, but I think the meaning of main differs
between Debian and Ubuntu. "main" in Ubuntu means that it's a package
where Canonical takes responsibility for security updates, as opposed to
"universe" which is a community concern.
I think the explanation can be found in d/control of fonts-ubuntu:
https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/f/fonts-ubuntu/control-0.83-4
It says "Section: non-free/fonts" also in the Ubuntu archive. And that's
probably the reason why the adjustment I propose in the merge request
makes a difference.
IOW: I don't see how vrms's code (or data) implements the above
position of Debian. Which leads me to another question, though
probably rather unrelated to this bug: where did you hear/read about
this being the Debian position? :)
In d/copyright of fonts-ubuntu:
https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/f/fonts-ubuntu/copyright-0.83-4
All that said,, in a later follow up to the bug report you wrote:
The idea is to apply the suggested exception at build time, but
only when building for Ubuntu. On Debian it would keep working as
it currently does.
I'd probably take a patch which implements this.
Crossing my fingers. :)

I'd appreciate if you could paste the output from running vrms to
this bug as well as the output of
$ find /etc/apt/sources.list* -type f |xargs cat
Please find two attachments with that info.
