No. Just like we don't need to update the Debian Social Contract for having https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/: we just ship additional files that might be useful for people having specific hardware. I don't see a difference between having non-free files in the archive and non-free files on the installation images. If having individual non-free files was not acceptable then we would have to define the archive not part of Debian as well. In addition the Social Contract explicitly asks people building installation images[1] to include the "contrib" and "non-free" parts of the archive. With this change we just follow that ourselves 😼 Ansgar [1]: Okay, it talks about CDs.
