Could you please explain your rationale? The way I read Policy, I don't
see a problem. To clarify: the package is not installing via snap
because of a licensing issue that prohibits distribution (such as
Flash), that is just to prevent needless transitions in Debian [1].
Nothing (except saving a LOT of work) prevents any of this from going
into main.


If you have some clarification on Policy that I haven't seen, please
share. Thanks!
