That's not surprising. Policy says (section 2.2.2, "The contrib section"):
Examples of packages which would be included in contrib or non-US/contrib are:
* free packages which require contrib, non-free packages or packages which
are not in our archive at all for compilation or execution, and
* wrapper packages or other sorts of free accessories for non-free
programs.
(disregarding any other reasons your package might not be suitable for the
archive)
