Inspired by the current discussions on -vote, I'd like to suggest that
vrms installs an APT hook to warn users when installing contrib or
non-free packages.

To be able to do that vrms should probably be able to give information
about one or more specific packages passed on the command line.

Kind regards,
Andrei

A slightly different approach (Bcc'd to the bug):


    Explanation: disable automatic installation of packages from non-free
    Package: *
    Pin: release c=non-free
    Pin-Priority: -1


    Explanation: allow installation and updates (USB ethernet adapter)
    Package: firmware-realtek
    Pin: release *
    Pin-Priority: 100


Kind regards,
Andrei
