From the release announcement:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1425516/accepted-apt-260-source-into-unstable/

"* More support for non-free-firmware
- Have values in Section config trees refer to them in all components
- Add non-free-firmware component in documentation
- Suggest using non-free-firmware in update for Debian"

Debian - you are not dead to me yet, but you are dying quickly.

Yes, the worm is now deep inside the deb. The "Linux desktop powers" that be will soon fall on their own rusty sword, as prophesied by the moon-letter scrolls.

"We want to create a free operating system, freely available for everyone."
"There is a growing number of packages which install non-free software on a Debian system."

I believe Debian should rebase on Debian and let the anti-Debian rot.

Sad developments like this are why I will always appreciate projects like Trisquel and the uncompromising principles that underpin it. Any ambiguity allows wiggleroom for infiltrators to undermine and dilute the philosophy behind Free Software.
