That's a mistaken view; the purpose of contrib is to give us a place to ship free software that we can't ship in Debian proper (ie, main) because it would violate "We will never make the system require the use of a non-free component" or, historically, "... we will never make the system depend on an item of non-free software". > ndiswrapper doesn't depend (in a control file sense) on stuff in non-free, The "Depends:" field isn't really that relevant.
