Not always. Please refer to http://bugs.debian.org/85853
That bug will be fixed in the 5.6.6 I'm about to release.

It is the assumption of this book that a work of art is a gift, not a
commodity. Or, to state the modern case with more precision, that works of
art exist simultaneously in two "economies," a market economy and a gift
economy. Only one of these is essential, however: a work of art can survive
without the market, but where there is no gift there is no art.
