today I realised that there are two sldmame frontends in the nonfree

useless without sdlmame, they were put into the nonfree repo, and have
sdlmame present in their Requires. Do you think they should stay in
nonfree, or rather be moved to free? And what with requires then?
As they seems to be pretty useless without sdlmame I'd say that leaving
the requires in and leaving the package in nonfree is likely the best.
It's might be wise to add a README to the package or CVS to explain the
situation for the curious.
