Apparently, motif-clients (aka the package containing mwm) has a non-free
license (and thus is in Ubuntu "multiverse" and Debian non-free). It's
also not available in Debian etch at all. This causes installation
problems of -extra-software on etch systems as well as any Ubuntu systems
that aren't using multiverse.
I just solved this by removing motif-clients from -extra-software (the
update adding it was uploaded by Broder yesterday). If we still want mwm,
we should consider options like adding it using Recommends or something so
it doesn't break etch systems.
