It is an extra safe measure to tell the user s/he has installed a 
non-free package from somewhere else. It is useful to remind the user 
his/her freedom is at peril.

That would not make Debian FSF free. It would warn the users that they 
have installed a non-free package that they have. In case the Debian 
version of your-freedom package is up to date and correct it would be 
great to include that package.
