That's not true. There are many packages in contrib which do not have
all their dependencies in non-free. E.g., the bunch of java packages
which do not work with anything but a non-free java compiler -- a java
compiler which Debian itself cannot distribute (and therefor is not in
non-free).
A package in main must not depend on any software outside of main, and
must be DFSG-free; A package in contrib must be DFSG-free; A package in
non-free must be legally distributable by Debian.
There are no further restrictions than the above.
