i couldn't find rtm, but tasque and tucan fail my proposed litmus test
(does the application depend solely on non-free information to function
properly) because the data itself is licensed at the users discretion.
hence, these applications are permitted in main.

see hannah-foo2zjs, which was split from foo2zjs and put in contrib
because it is a script who's sole purpose is to fetch non-free printer
firmwares; or ttf-mathmatica whose sole purpose is to fetch non-free
fonts.
