Change Details

This is a meta-task tracking abstractly the issue of merely suggesting a nonfree package, even though said package is not available in PureOS. Debian forbids depending on or recommending non-free packages. Free Software Foundation forbids promoting non-free code, and interprets merely suggesting it as promotion when also distributing what is suggested (as Debian arguably does). Suggesting non-existing packages is arguably tolerated, although ideally should be avoided.
