The other way around: sources in main are allowed to produce packages in
contrib. That's why even if 90% of binaries are in contrib, the source
still has to be in main. It obviously needs to be entirely free software,
but contrib allows requiring a non-free compiler to build.
Virtualbox ships a BIOS that requires Watcom to compile from real sources,
precompiled copy they ship as well is free but is not the preferred form
for modification.
