packages that don't conform to the rules that sebastian has set for the 
main tree, can go into texmf-extra on the dvd, as was done with the 
utopia/fourier font collection; that way the package is distributed and 
users can copy texmf-extra over their main tree if they are satisfied with 
his rules for usage and so get rid of their bad feelings

(in that case, manfred is probably the one to handle that)
