It probably needs to be split even further:

  debian-non-US/bo/main
  debian-non-US/bo/contrib
  debian-non-US/bo/non-free
  debian-non-US/hamm/main
  debian-non-US/hamm/contrib
  debian-non-US/hamm/non-free

For example, it looks like the latest ssh (1.2.20) in no longer free, so what 
with libc5/6 I should be uploading it as all four of these:

  debian-non-US/bo/main/ssh_1.2.19-3.deb
  debian-non-US/bo/non-free/ssh_1.2.20-3.deb
  debian-non-US/hamm/main/ssh_1.2.19-4.deb
  debian-non-US/hamm/non-free/ssh_1.2.20-4.deb

depressing, isn't it.  I've no idea how we then persuade dpkg to do something 
sensible with the result.

Cheers, Phil.
