just that. Refer to the Debian Policy 2.2.1 [1]. Packages in main "must
not require a package outside of main for compilation or execution".
That's why Flash files aren't acceptable for main, as there is no free
compiler, nor a free (and complete) interpreter.

It's not because the compiled binary format is proprietary.
