You're wrong.

Probably because you're using an older version of procps.  The
difference is between 2:3.3.9-9 and 2:3.3.10-2 (which recently entered
Debian testing).

The older version of free has a "-/+ buffers/cache" line, and the Free
entry in the "-/+ buffer/cache" line is equivalent to the available
line.  So you're version of free looks like this:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           15G       7.1G       8.2G       421M       303M       1.6G
-/+ buffers/cache:       5.2G   ===> 10G <===
Swap:           0B         0B         0B
