Nope, they were simply moved to non-free, as it should. I believe the package is waiting for NEW processing, but i also believe that the dubious copyright assignement will not allow the ftp-masters to let it pass into the archive, since it *IS* a GPL violation, and thus i am doing this in order to solve that problem.

Not really. Once the, post-sarge, transition is done, you just will have to load the non-free .udeb from the non-free d-i archive, or install the module package from non-free, and you won't even notice.
Sarge kernels are messed beyond recognition in this anyway, but they are freezed so ...
Friendly,
