practical difference between "main" and "contrib"/"non-free" package sections
Hello. It is said on the Debian website, that contrib and non-free
packages get security updates whenever it is possible, some of these
packages are maintained by official Debian teams (for example,
firmware-linux-nonfree is maintained by Debian Kernel Team). Seems like
the only practical difference in Debian's attitude to contrib/non-free
is that packages from contrib/non-free cannot be included in official
Debian installation images and there is no difference in how Debian
supports main, contrib, non-free. Am I right?
Thank you.
