  must not be so buggy that we refuse to support them, and
  must meet all policy requirements presented in this manual.
Similarly, the packages in non US/main
  must not require a package outside of main or non US/main for compilation or execution,
  must not be so buggy that we refuse to support them,
  must meet all policy requirements presented in this manual.
2.2.2 The contrib section
Every package in contrib and non US/contrib must comply with the DFSG.
In addition, the packages in contrib and non US/contrib
  must not be so buggy that we refuse to support them, and
  must meet all policy requirements presented in this manual.
Furthermore, packages in contrib must not require a package in a non US section for compila 
tion or execution.
Examples of packages which would be included in contrib or non US/contrib are:
  free packages which require contrib, non free packages or packages which are not in our
archive at all for compilation or execution, and
  wrapper packages or other sorts of free accessories for non free programs.
2.2.3 The non free section
Packages must be placed in non free or non US/non free if they are not compliant with the DFSG
or are encumbered by patents or other legal issues that make their distribution problematic.
In addition, the packages in non free and non US/non free
  must not be so buggy that we refuse to support them, and
  must meet all policy requirements presented in this manual that it is possible for them to
meet.

2.2.4 The non US sections
Non free programs with cryptographic program code need to be stored on the non us server
because of export restrictions of the U.S.
Programs which use patented algorithms that have a restricted license also need to be stored
on  non us , since the non us archive is located in a country where patenting algorithms is not
allowed.
A package depends on another package which is distributed via the non us server has to be
stored on the non us server as well.

It is possible that there are policy requirements which the package is unable to meet, for example, if the source
is unavailable. These situations will need to be handled on a case by case basis.
