I'm not talking to the Okular developers. They can do whatever the hell they want, and it's none of my business. I'm talking to the Debian maintainers of the Okular package, who signed an agreement to abide by the Debian Social Contract. These package maintainers are catering to people who are not members of the Debian community at the expense of people who are, in violation of that Contract.

I don't think there's anything about the default setting of the Okular option that "violates the Debian Social Contract" or violates the DFSG, unless there's a lot of understood subtext that I'm not aware of as an outsider. The software is, to the best of my knowledge, appropriately licensed, modifiable, and redistributable.
But, as noted, I'm an outsider, and if the Debian community feels violated by the default setting of a user-changeable option, by all means, change it...
