I think it's only because it is built from dosemu source package, which in turn is in contrib because it depends on freedos, which was determined at some point not to be buildable from source on a free system, rendering it also into contrib. I'm not sure what the policy is on building packages in main from non-free/contrib source packages... BTW, there is xfonts-bochs which provides a vga font in main... -- Ryan Underwood, <nemesis@icequake.net>
