Note about the explicit Depends: r-cran-rgeos:

> library(maptools)
Checking rgeos availability: FALSE
    Note: when rgeos is not available, polygon geometry 	computations in maptools depend on gpclib,
    which has a restricted licence. It is disabled by default;
    to enable gpclib, type gpclibPermit()



Formerly the package contained some data sets which had either no
licensing statement at all or a non-commercial purposes license.  These
files are removed via Files-Excluded in debian/copyright to enable
distributing this package in Debian main.  The remaining data files
are assembled in a separate package in non-free.
