Right, I am one of those who would encourage on pragmatic reasons to use
the non-free repository to install documentation for most GNU software.
I would never encourage anyone to use Trisquel because that renders any
desktop machine useless due to FSF's layman opinion on the openness of
firmware and hardware.

I have never seen that Debian encourages the use of proprietary
software; that is cheap FSF propaganda.

Debian is the best OS if you want to use _fully free software_ according
to a solid definition established by a large democratic group and not by
some real world blind people who even urge their co-GNU hackers to write
non free documentation.
