I've done the first point, neglecting the second point for now, and the third point is an RM decision. My rationale to do this, is: - woody shipped with a non-free unrar named 'unrar', and it worked - the free version is not functionally equivalent yet, of the .rar files in the wild, I couldn't actually find a single one that was unpackeable with the free unrar. - So, it's too late now to have sarge ship with a free alternative, because development of that one simply hasn't reached a functionally (nearly-?) equivalent version. For etch, let's see, but for sarge, let's just maintain the situation as it was in woody: a non-free 'unrar' for people not objecting to non-free who want to unrar files. Once the free unrar matured enough, it can probably ultimately replace unrar (again), but until that time, I really do believe the free unrar should be named differently until that point is reached. I offer my assistance to get this happening again because of what I've done to unstable at the moment. RMs, please review unrar-nonfree 1:3.5.2-0.1, restoring a new version of the unrar that was in woody to sarge.
