If I'm reading this correctly, it's not possible for a package in
contrib to have Build-Depends on a package in non-free unless we do
binary uploads. Although binary uploads aren't allowed for main, they
are allowed for packages in contrib.

It might be easiest to move/convert the package from contrib to
non-free. That would go through the NEW queue so you'll need a DD to
do that upload.

Thank you,
