There's also these:

capi4hylafax: Recommends: 'isdnactivecards' [choice 1: isdnactivecards from contrib]
deutex: Recommends: 'doom-wad' [choice 1: doom-wad-shareware from non-free]
rt4-apache2: Recommends: 'libapache2-mod-fastcgi' [choice 1: libapache2-mod-fastcgi from non-free]
task-serbian: Recommends: 'opendict-plugins-lingvosoft' [choice 1: opendict-plugins-lingvosoft from contrib]

In all these cases, apt-get installs a package from non-free or contrib when
installing a package from main with non-free or contrib enabled. I have filed
bugs for these packages.

Why is this less serious? When you install yagf (with non-free enabled),
apt-get installs cuneiform, which is non-free.

Cheers,
