I think that it would be good software-freedom policy to keep the
repositories completely clean of non-free packages and then have clear
documentation stating which non-free packages are needed for each
additional features that are not supported by the fully-free system.
So, people who cannot afford to lack these features would have to
manually install the non-free stuff. It is important to leave non-free
packages to be explicetly installed manually by the users that desire
them so that every user of non-free packages is aware of its usage of
non-free stuff (and the reasons for needing that).

happy hacking,
Felipe Sanches
