Section 2.1.2 says:
<-- snip -->
In addition, the packages in _main_
* must not require a package outside of _main_ for compilation or
execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Depends",
"Recommends", or "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-_main_
package),
...
<-- snip -->
A "gs (>= 4.03) | gs-aladdin (>= 4.03)" says that you need one of these
two packages installed. I read it that the sense of this sentence is in
the "must not require", and as long as you are able to install the package
on a system without any non-free or contrib packages installed there's no
problem.
