... which (just to complete your point for the archives) you can get at by adding "non-free" to your /etc/apt/sources.list (this is etch): (0) heretic /home/keeling_ egrep -v '^#|^$' /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://debian.mirror.rafal.ca/debian/ etch main non-free contrib deb-src http://debian.mirror.rafal.ca/debian/ etch main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main "non-free" in the case of documentation is licencing crap.
