now with that out of the way:
I have to agree with you that we should let the user choose to be a
"slave" or not, as long the software we provide is Free Software we have
nothing to worry about, hmm is like
a security tool, you can use it in many ways, to us to package it and
give it with the distribution cause is free software wont mean that
someone is going to use it for evil doing.. and even if they do is their
choice..
hope I get my point out. now if this package was not free then.. of
course is not going into the system, wine case is free software so I
vote that we indeed should include it also Samba. Samba sometimes is
usefull in many ways and that don't means people is *only* going to use
it to connect to non-free systems.. some people like to use samba
between GNU/Linux systems and others.

Then again, it is a little odd having ndiswrapper in the repositories. Though
theoretically it could be used with a Free windows driver I suppose.
