dpkg and apt-cache could be modified to respect any reference
to missing/undesirable heirarchies with a little work.
And the idea is to non impose non-free software on people who
do not want it, not project the fantasy that it does not exist.

So we are into censorship now? No one mentions any non-free
software in any package structure? I strongly object to this. Surely
fee software is strong enough to stand on its own withourt having to
resort to tactics like this?
If you think it is not strong enough to do so, maybe you
should examine your beliefs in the value of fee software.
