Thanks. I have contacted debian-legal.
And no, acting after those web APIs break is a bad idea.
But why have they to break? Afterall, it can "break" any package.
It is the same as depending on a non-free library. In the future more
packages will start depend on non-free web API, and a single change by
non-free provider will wipe out a major chunk of Debian. It will be very
costly then. Look what happened with xBSD family -- they were locked out
of the market for 3 years due to legal battle, and had to rewrite major
chunk of OS.
So we must act before bad things happen.
I can't make any additional comments on this because it's still unclear
to me what's the involved package(s) we are talking about and why you are
so afraid it becomes dependant on a non-free API :-?
