Would not a restriction on commercial use still be against the DFSG, and
the package therefore be problematic?

It's not quite that simple. You can't print and sell Bibles in the UK (unless you are CUP or OUP). Would a bomb-making text in Debian be non-free because the UK forbids you to print and sell it?
