Since the end of non-US http://www.debian.org/mirror/list-non-US
I don't think there is another category instead of main.  main is
debian and debian is main.

The mirrors also have non-free (stuff that can be redistributed but
does not follow the DFSG) and contrib (stuff that could go in main if
it didn't depend on something not in main), but they are not part of
debian.  Also:
- IF smc's graphics infringe Nintendo's copyright THEN we probably
  cannot legally distribute them at all, even in non-free.
- Therefore, IF smc's graphics cannot be changed THEN we probably
  cannot distribute smc.

Sorry about the conditionals.  I don't know Nintendo's work well
enough to have a strong opinion whether or not smc's graphics infringe
Nintendo's copyright.

Hope that explains,

Of course that explained. Now I'm seriously thinking smc is not a good
idea at least that the graphics are changed.
