That's exactly why I suggested earlier in this thread that we need an
additional repo for 'tainted+non-free' packages, that's the only solution
that would satisfy every preference people might have and at the same time
make things clear for everyone (packagers, mirror maintainers, users).
Putting 'tainted+non-free' packages into 'non-free' is a messy
unsatisfactory workaround, not a real solution.
