Title:
  Why is this package in multiverse?

Status in chocolate-doom package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When looking at the Debian changelog at http://metadata.ftp-
  master.debian.org/changelogs//main/c/chocolate-doom/chocolate-
  doom_2.2.1-2.1_changelog under "chocolate-doom (2.1.0-2) unstable;
  urgency=medium" they state that the package has moved from contrib to
  main to fix a prior bug.

  When comparing to the Ubuntu packages, this means that the chocolate-
  doom package for Ubuntu 15.10 and above should be moved to either main
  or universe due to Debian moving it from contrib to main. Why is this
  labeled as multiverse (non-free) to begin with? It is licensed under
  the GPLv2 meaning that it should be as free as it gets.

  Please take a look at this considering that other Ubuntu derivatives
  like Trisquel (https://trisquel.info) may leave this package out due
  to the current multiverse status.
