[1] is clearly wrong then, citing the policy:
,---------------------------> quote policy <---------------------------
| 2.2.1. The main archive area
| ----------------------------
|
| Every package in _main_ must comply with the DFSG (Debian Free
| Software Guidelines).
|
| 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),
| * must not be so buggy that we refuse to support them, and
| * must meet all policy requirements presented in this manual.
`---------------------------> quote policy <---------------------------
Please read the first list point, emphasis on *compilation*.

Then the package has to stay in contrib, as tough as this might sound.

Where did that happen? Do you have a hint for that?

In the light of all this, I'm filing a RC bug against the package for
violating policy 2.2.1.
Sorry,
Rhonda
