Normally you will have non-free on that CD as well so some of the contrib 
packages will work. 

The point I wanted to make is that with seahorse in non-US/main somebody 
who has the non-US CD will have both gnupg and seahorse available.

If you ask me it should go into main and we should change the US laws :)
As we don't have that option I think it should go into non-US/main.
