If that was possible, I would say yes but that's not possible since the lack of header doesn't mean that there's no dependency. For me contrib has always been: any package that depends (determined by the header) on non-free stuff with a list of exceptions covering cases where there's no dependency in the control file but where there should have been one if the stuff it depended on would have been packaged. And the only exception I'm currently comfortable with is installation wrappers.
