Ah. That would mean completely non-redistributable, not just non-free
(non-free package must still comply with their licence, it's just that
the licences there don't meet the DFSG).
I think the simplest way to have that in Debian is to construct a
package that, when installed, automatically downloads the binaries off
the net and puts them in the right place; if such a package can be
produced, it could go in contrib.
