I guess there is no easy way out, so.. be it.

so thats useful for "main contrib non-free"?

I'm not sure we can test non-free (without checking all the licences) and I'm 
not sure I want to. While I do support users needing non-free software, I 
prefer to work on free software only...

As said, this worries me:

holger at pejacevic:/srv/piuparts.debian.org/htdocs$ find * -mtime -1 |wc -l
187537

htdocs/wheezy is 20k and htdocs/squeeze is 17k. So adding them both twice 
means adding 74k new files, generated _twice a day_.

IMO thats just wrong.

I just don't know whats right yet.

Is wheezy-next wheezy-proposed or wheezy2proposed? (Please stop the -next 
confusion...)


cheers,
