apt-get install debian-policy packaging-manual
cd /usr/share/doc/debian-policy # or packaging-manual
read files
quick summation: every package in Debian must be buildable within Debian.
Otherwise it is non-free (binary only). prc files may be an exception -- they
could reasonably be treated as data. However, if your package in main contains
a non-free palm package, I would be loath to consider your package free.
