[Gnewsense-dev] [bug] command-not-found might suggest non-free software

command-not-found is the program suggesting what package to install
if one tries to execute a non-installed application in a shell. 

It uses a couple of database files for the binary to package
resolution. The problem is that some of them are for non-free parts.

92K /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/all-main.db
16K /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/all-multiverse.db
16K /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/all-restricted.db
312K /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/all-universe.db
364K /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/i386-main.db
56K /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/i386-multiverse.db
16K /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/i386-restricted.db
1.4M /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/i386-universe.db 

My suggestions for a resolution is two one simple and a more advanced
one:

Easy: Remove the package 

Removing the package will just disable the lookup and not break the
system. See the end of /etc/bash.bashrc for more information.

Harder: Remove the databases

No sure what kind of mayhem that might couse.
