In general, I think we should avoid doing that.

In this case, the advertisement is also present on the upstream github
page, via the README, which is also in the Debian package, so removing
it from the Debian package description will not remove the
advertisement entirely. Personally I'd prefer to not have it present
in any of the locations, but leaving it in the README in Debian and
upstream seems like a reasonable compromise.

I got the impression that Faidon is not involved with SSLMate so this
and the relevant DMUP clause does not seem to apply in this case.
