By default, contrib and non-free repositories are not enabled. They are also unsupported from the security team. They are not part of Debian. They are an additional service provided to users requesting it specifically. Debian is about free software. There is nothing in DFSG about "free services". How do you know if a service is implemented with free software or not? Amazon S3 could be free software, but only distributed internally at Amazon. -- Lord, what fools these mortals be! -- William Shakespeare, "A Midsummer-Night's Dream"
