But a package is initially placed into main, non-free or contrib at the time it is first uploaded based on its specified section in debian/control then! At least, I presume FTP-master either agrees with the maintainer's assessment of whether it goes into main, non-free, or contrib; or else rejects the package. It seems pretty unlikely to me that a maintainer would later change the section from contrib or non-free to main (or vice-versa, for that matter) by accident. If it does get changed, almost certainly the maintainer did it intentionally as a result of a license change, etc. regards, -- Kevin B.
