Correct. If you feel strongly about that, create a
binary-non-fre target in the rules file, as well as binaty-main. Let
binary-indep (or binary-arch) depend on both.
People can then call
dpkg-source -b; debian/rules build-main; debian/rules binary-main;
dpkg-genchanges; pgp -u user +clearsig=on .dsc;
pgp -u user +clearsig=on .changes
See? deb file, nothing in non-free needed.
End of story?
