vrms is problematic. It goes by the DFSG, whereas Ubuntu (or at least
Gobuntu, when it existed) goes by the FSF guidelines. As such, using
that to notify a user of non-free software on a system would probably
cause a lot of false positives and scares (the human theme used
to be flagged as non-free by vrms, iirc).

A better solution would probably be hooks on non-free packages.
