An interesting dependancy problem
It is policy that package that depend on non-free packages must go into
contrib. However, what if a package depends on a virtual package that
is only provided by packages outside of "main"?
This came up in Bug#16652 where "javalex" depends upon "java-virtual-machine"
but that virtual package is only provided by "kaffe" which is in contrib.
