+* Issue http://bugs.debian.org/681419
+** May packages in main have a Depends: foo | foo-nonfree
+* Possible Solutions
+** Yes
+   + Possibility of automatically pulling in non-free during some
+     dependency resolution
+** Yes, with caveats
+   + Under no circumstances should non-free be pulled in automatically
+*** Automatic: avoid in Release file
+    + http://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/20120717083004.GB21400@frosties
+*** Only virtual packages
+** No
+   + Lots of packages will be insta-buggy
+* Open Questions
+** How many total dependencies are there?  (We're only interested in Depends or Recommends for this purpose, not Suggests.)
+*** 79
+** Are all of those dependencies alternative dependencies of the form: Depends: foo | foo-nonfree or are there other cases?
+*** Yes, save for two bugs
+** Are any of these dependencies versioned?
+*** No
+** What do packages already in the archive do?
+*** Already some alternative Depends: and Recommends: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=681419#100
+** Do any packages pull in non-free automatically already?
+*** Apparently, no http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=681419#100
