I read our current policy different (at least the release policy): A
package could only be in main if all of its (build-)dependencies can be
fullfiled in main, and if it is free itself. Otherwise, it goes to
contrib (if free) or non-free (if at least distributable).
IOW, there is no difference if a dependency was kicked out from main for
being buggy, or if the dependency sits in non-free.

Andi
