[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#876980: bubblewrap: feline mascot is non-Free

Package: bubblewrap
Version: 0.1.8-3
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream fixed-upstream pending
Justification: Policy 2.2.1
The cat picture displayed in the HTMLized README on Github
(bubblewrap.jpg) is a CC-BY-ND photo sourced from Flickr. This is not a
DFSG-compliant license, and the prevailing interpretation of the Debian
social contract is that the DFSG is intended to be applied to all parts
of all works in main, however inconsequential.
It seems rather absurd that this is a release-critical bug, but whatever.
Fixing it will not change the contents of the binary package, since we do
not actually install the offending cat picture.
If you are disappointed by this change and have (or can take) a Free
photo of a kitten or similarly adorable pet enjoying bubble wrap, please
send it upstream.
