 I'm considering packaging BET, a 128-bit blowfish-encrypted talk daemon.
 However, it relies on a non-DFSG complian library, even though the program
 itself is GPL.

Then it belongs in contrib.  Anything which is itself free but has non-free
dependencies should go in contrib.

Sorry, didn't clarify. I should package the library for non-free and the
bet for contrib, correct?

The license needs to have an exemption for the GPL-incompatible
library it uses.

Indeed. If there's no such exception, we cannot distribute it (just like
KDE in the past).
