that always pops up in my head when I read things like this. I never

simply invested some time and got them integrated into the repository?(ยน)
It wouldn't be the first (albeit it likely would be the biggest) fork
where we also still ship the original (dd{,_}rescue comes to my mind),
hence I'd assume the packaging guidelines do not forbid something like
that. Or do they?
No but that would involve actual work rather than merely making the
claim that software licensed under GPL/MPL is non-free if it doesn't
allow the use of a name when patches are applied to it.
