These packages are all priority "extra", right? In fact, I would consider it acceptable in general to move everything in contrib to main as long as it each package was forced to be priority extra until it was suitable for general-purpose use as packaged in main (including any dependencies, of course). OTOH, I don't feel passionately about it, so if people are wedded to the concept of the "contrib" distribution, so be it... -- G.
