I was expecting an answer, so my question is not rhetorical.

ok, so you must be interested in whether Debian is using one kind of
solution or another.

and you can understand that other people in this list will not stop
making questions or talking about issues that could make debian people
or any other distro or proyect pay "us" more or less attention,
critical thinking is essential.

so, its very important to know what kind of solution are they working on

Its a very important question, perhaps a formal letter is a good idea,

its linux libre an official kernel package?, or at least  linux libre
have a .deb that could be installed
without problem from a non official repository to debian?
