Up until hamm we didn't have different contrib and non-free archives for stable and unstable; it was introduced for hamm because the unstable packages would be built against libc6 and thus wouldn't work on libc5 systems. Same thing still pretty much applies. The testing scripts include it for much the same reason and because it's effectively no effort. ] Thus, although non-free software isn't a part of Debian, we ] support its use, and we provide infrastructure (such as our ] bug-tracking system and mailing lists) for non-free software packages.
