I think one complaint is that many debian users want to avoid what they consider non-free stuff. Previously this was simple, if their idea of "non-free" corresponded with Debian's: they could just not have non-free in their sources.list. However now, it will be harder, because Debian is going to group desirable "free" (from the user's viewpoint, not debian's) stuff together with undesirable "really non-free" stuff. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
