No, when 2.0 comes out, there will be a stable main, a stable
contrib and a stable non-free. Most probably the Debian official CD set
will come with main and contrib. Only non-free may not be put in CDs.

The method to select directory tres (supported by the latest
dpkg releases) is now different. Currently you would have to tell
dselect the following to install hamm:
dists/frozen/main dists/frozen/non-free dists/frozen/contrib
Which makes more sense than before.
