While I generally agree that everything Debian ships should be really free, not merely free to redistribute, in this case I feel that a single file buried inside another tarball, which no-one has reason to unpack since Nettle exists as a package of its own, is such a marginal issue that the desire to ship a pristine tarball should carry more weight. I've asked upstream to switch to Nettle 1.15, but it's unlikely that they'll make a new 7.6 release soon. -- Magnus Holmgren [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian Developer
