from policy 2.2.2:
The contrib archive area contains supplemental packages intended to
work with the Debian distribution, but which require software
outside of the distribution to either build or function.
[…]
Examples of packages which would be included in contrib are:
free packages which require contrib, non-free packages or packages
which are not in our archive at all for compilation or execution,
and
That sound like a pretty good match for those Javascript packages that
require grunt to build.
