The point is not even wanting to distribute non-free software or not. Even if Debian wasn't "distributing non-free software" (which is highly debatable), tools have no reason to blacklist repositories that do.

I entirely agree with this. I would even recommend *closing* this bug. Having bugs opened for years "just for reference" is something that I personnally find to be a waste of resources (the resource of people wanting to triage bugs and coming on such old stuff over and over again).
