Bug#824383: gnome-software: packages not installed from repositories are claimed to be non-free

[Paul Wise]

Package: gnome-software
Version: 3.20.2-2
Severity: normal

I still have xchat installed after it was removed from Debian (replaced
by hexchat) and gnome-software seems to think it is non-free even
though it is clearly not non-free. See below & the attached screenshot.

$ apt-cache show xchat | egrep 'Package|Section'
Package: xchat
Section: net
