But that is unnecessary for certain systems! I'm using sl-modem-daemon
with snd_intel8x0m and hence I don't need any of the other sl-modem
packages.

The dependencies in Debian are different! Is this case where Debian is
more accepting of the non-free license?

Debian dependencies can be found here:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/sl-modem-daemon
and the Ubuntu dependencies here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/misc/sl-modem-daemon

Notice that sl-modem-module-new is or'ed in the Debian package!

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.
