However, supporting and permitting are two different things. Like it or not, there is an association of Debian being "involved" to some degree or another in the software in contrib and non-free. Not everyone understands that non-free is not really part of Debian. That said, even if everyone understood that perfectly, I don't think that the security team and/or the FTP masters would be thrilled about permitting software in non-free that is very buggy. That was the point I was trying to make.
