Note that this bug has been fixed in the new policy packaging manual, which
should be uploaded soon, I hope.
The extra text has been placed in a footnote, and contrib and non-free are
listed separately, as sections. I'd prefer calling them `add-ons', though,
because `sections' implies being a part of something, and those two are not
a part of the distribution, just part of the FTP site.
