Ah, ok.  I guess (based on other comments of yours below) that this is 
irrelevant for the packaging currently in Debian Sid.  I will update 
when things change there.

Debian "main" tells that it is free software.

I guess you mean Debian "unstable" a.k.a. "Sid" (updated every 6 hours, 
unlike "stable", currently codenamed "Lenny", which is updated each 2-3 
years).

Ok.  I think I understand it now.

I have added another made-up package fso2-frameworkd to reflect this.

Yes. I noticed it just now.  I won't reflect that in the graph, then.

I would suggest to add an "Enhances: fso-frameworkd" to intone to better 
reflect this.
