It is up and running; see for example #625908. However I don't think
moving something from contrib to non-free to get it autobuilt is the
right solution. Perhaps it would be possible to ask the non-free
autobuilder team to also build whitelisted packages in contrib too,
if they don't already?
See <http://wiki.debian.org/buildd>
Thanks, I was looking around for this information without much luck. As
to moving or not moving the package, if you search the mailing list
archives you will see that I have been asking for exactly this solution
for a number of years (at least 4) with no success (for my latest
attempt, see [0]).
I am pretty much at my wits end on this and I am really, really tired of
hand building a large number of architectures wher I often have to ask the
sysadmins to please install the non-free pgplot5 so that the package will
build.
