non-free and contrib aren't parts of Debian proper.  I'm not quite sure
where else you mean that Debian compromises.

Well come on, even the FSF webpage says you should use it for propaganda
so you may as well own up to it ;)

Quote from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html:
	When a section discusses the philosophy of free software, it is
	a good idea to make that section invariant. For instance, when
	we put the GNU Manifesto in a manual, or when we include a
	section explaining why free documentation is important, we make
	that section invariant.
