If they cannot be installed without downloading non-free content, then certainly they depends on non-free content and does not belong in main: This is covered by 2.2.1: In addition, the packages in _main_ * must not require a package outside of _main_ for compilation or execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Depends", "Recommends", or "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-_main_ package), Personnally, I would argue that if a package sole content is a script to download non-free content, then it should be in non-free. A package should contains some real DFSG-free content to belong in contrib.
