Actually, there doesn't seem to be such a proposal; there just seems to
be your (accepted) proposal to make both main and non-US/main part of
the Debian distribution.
So, let's fix that.
The principle: packages that are DFSG-free, depend on packages in
non-US/main, but are otherwise candidates for main should go into
non-US/main also. That way they're still a part of the official
distribution, but they don't come up as uninstallables for the poor
deprived US folks.
Here's a sample wording change. It incorporates the accepted change
from #62946. It's not entirely clear where contrib packages that don't
include crypto, but Depend: on software that does (from non-US/*) would
go in the following, probably.
