If contrib goes on the official Debian CDs, then you have broken dependencies
on that CD, since any package in contrib depends on something outside of main.
The only point in putting contrib on the CD (I assume) is to save download
time for people who have slow connections, which this certainly does.
(Not that I like either option here, but this argument seems spurious.)
