<offtopic>[1] I've modified the above web page[2] a couple of days ago
(incited by this flame^Odiscussion) to more clearly say that main is the
official Debian GNU/Linux distribution, and that it contains only packages
that are DFSG compliant. That way, main is more emphasized than the other
parts, which are described basically as add-ons. If anyone (native
speakers?) cares to take a look, and if necessary improve the wording,
please send comments to the debian-www list (or to me personally).
[1] then again, this whole thread is offtopic
[2] also accessible through http://www.debian.org/Packages
