Of course, obviously---for software where there is a choice, but for software which can not be built from source because it is closed or not redistributable once modified (which seems to be the case with Opera), putting a statically linked version into the archive sounds like the correct solution. btw, I agree with Russ Allbery: "...but just dropping the vendor's Debian package in our archive seems like entirely pointless..." - Bruce
