As I already said, I was making the assumption that we are in a pure
debian blending, so please consider what I am saying in that context and
not as a personal attack :)

From:
https://wiki.debian.org/Steam

Steam is a proprietary content delivery and management application for
PC software with GNU/Linux support. It is packaged for Debian in
non-free

I would recommend to specify the context in which one is acting. This
would help to help.

For example, I was confused by the whole discussion so far, starting
from the improper usage of the subject line, to which not all of us are
psycologically prepared ... Old habits ...
