Faux.

/usr/doc/debian-policy/policy.text.gz :

2.1.3. The contrib section
--------------------------

     Every package in "contrib" must comply with the DFSG.

     Examples of packages which would be included in "contrib" are
        * free packages which require "contrib", "non-free", or "non-US"
          packages or packages which are not in our archive at all for
          compilation or execution,
        * wrapper packages or other sorts of free accessories for non-free
          programs,
        * packages which we don't want to support because they are too
          buggy, and
        * packages which fail to meet some other policy requirements in a
          serious way.

Par contre, il y a une proposition sur debian-policy pour enlever
cette clause de `buggy pacakges'
