I don't think that's any worse than having a GPL-compatible package
reference a non-GPL-compatible package, if we were to have a gpl-only
distribution.
Personally, I think as far as words in a packages file go, or as far as
the output from dpkg -s goes, we ought to be satisfied with just ensuring
that suggests: foo is only done from a Debian package if foo is another
Debian package.
Standard user tools like dselect and gnome-apt, or whatever, are something
of a different matter though.
Cheers,
aj
