Hm, I don't see acetoniso2 in archive and acetoniso didn't ask me anything nor do I see it depends on poweriso and unrar-nonfree (the nonfree things aren't even part of the archive). Can you recheck @mladen.pejakovic ?

Yes, it's just acetoneiso, but FSF will definitely consider this as a nonfree:

I think we could patch this one (comment or remove parts of source code to remove such pop-outs).

Upstream is dead, and alternatives exist. Seems just a matter of time before it is dropped in Debian.

@mak please block it.

Dropped from Debian testing (and consequently from PureOS), and unlikely to reappear without addressing the bug.
