Look at the debian/control file.  Look for the Section: field.  What
does it say?  The "main/" is implied and so not included.  But any
section that is other than main will be stated there.  If it doesn't
say then it was expected to be in "main".

Continuing with my emacs doc example:

  $ grep Section emacs23-non-dfsg-23.4+1/debian/control
  Section: non-free/editors
  Section: non-free/editors

And of course that will be in the .debian.tar.(gz|bz2|xz) file.
