As a practical example of this, Python ships HTML documentation. This is
in a pre-built tarball in the Debian source package, because the
original docs are in latex and require latex2html to turn them into
HTML. latex2html is non-free, so can't be a build-depend. Should the
python docs be moved to contrib, or is the HTML sufficiently modifiable
that they can stay in main?
