I'm sorry, it is not auto-pgp but mailcrypt.  Not only that, but the
problem has apparently been fixed in sid.  mailcrypt depends on 
"gnupgp | pgp-i | pgp-us | pgp5i".  This means that the package's
dependencies can be satisfied by DSFG compliant software (gnupg) that is
in the non-us/main archive.  Therefore mailcrypt goes in non-us/main as
well, not contrib.  potato had the package in contrib.

Therefore, if the printool maintainer wants to follow this precident,
they should have no problem putting their package in main if it depends
on "gs (>= 4.03) | gs-aladdin (>= 4.03)" since its dependencies can be
satisfied entirely by package from the main archive.
