dosemu is in contrib because it depends on a free DOS implementation
which we don't have yet in debian. There's FreeDOS (GPLed) but there
are technical problems building the package, particularly about GCC.
Just filed a FreeDOS RFP explaining the details,
see http://bugs.debian.org/144042 . And feel free to take the RFP
BTW I'm working on to port dosemu, don't touch it! :)
