Just to chime in:
IMNSHO:
It really makes little difference if software is packaged in main or
contrib. The way I see it both have software available under a
DFSG-complient licence.
Because sometimes there is software in contrib that actually is usable
without non-free software, although it use may be limited, I *always*
reccomend that contrib be included in any and all source.lists. There really
is no reason not to. If the package depends on software in non-free it will
just fail to install. Otherwise it will install just fine because it does
not depend on a missing package.
There is no good reason not to think of contrib as an extention of main,
where *some* software may require non-free packages.
Actually I see no good reason at all for a source.list to fail to have
contrib.
