2.2.3 The non-free section

Packages must be placed in non-free or non-US/non-free if they are not
compliant with the DFSG or are encumbered by patents or other legal
issues that make their distribution problematic.

In addition, the packages in non-free and non-US/non-free 
* must not be so buggy that we refuse to support them, and 
* must meet all policy requirements presented in this manual that it
is possible for them to meet. [3]
=====================

Your bug report is rather vague. With which part of this policy does
pptview not agree?

Cheers,
Shaun
