Is this still true if you don't count non-free, and remove the source from
contrib (and put it on the source disk)?

I would be more in favor of splitting off optional and extra packages onto
succeeding CDs. All of the packages that have priority standard and higher
should fit, with source, on one CD. As the optional and extra packages
continue to increase in population the overflow simply moves onto another
CD, keeping source with binary. I think this gives us two full CDs and a
third that may be only partially full, allowing room for "add ons".

TBD as far as I can tell. Ian asked about it a while back, but I don't
remember any follow through.
