     Hi steve.


     As discussed in another thread, there are certainly other packages 
affected by the big-brother syndrom, or other diseases. Therefore a 
generic method is necessary to put them apart. I already proposed to 
restrict the definition of "free software" with new criteria, beyond 
open-source and free redistribution. Packages needing systemd library 
would then fall by this criteria in the non-free repository.


     For badly infected packages like systemd itself, if they were 
provided, there could even be a dramatic warning in the description, in 
the anti-tobaco fashion, "Systemd is against freedom".
