The best solution is to change the directory heiracrhy so that we have
either:

  debian/rex-non-free
  debian/rex-contrib

or

  debian/non-free/rex
  debian/contrib/rex

or something.  We need to make the same distinctions in the non-free
and contrib trees that we do in the normal tree.  I know there are
arguments for not having these things directly under rex (CD
distributors?), but this approach avoids that problem.
