In practice I guess it's just going to mean that most people end up putting non-free in their sources.list, weakening the effect of having a separation between "free" and "non-free" in the first place, and more users end up confused because lack of hard dependencies will mean the doc packages don't get installed.
It may get worse. The maintainer of the GNU make package has just kicked out the documentation for good, offering no substituton whatsoever. When somebody reported this to the BTS, he bluntly responded: "This is not a bug." See bug #358314 (and note that the make manual does not even contain unmodifiable sections). If more Debian maintainers follow this example, it will mean that people will have to download the docs from many different places, something which is _very_ inconvenient, to say the least. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
