[Foo2zjs-maintainer] Bug#449497: foo2zjs: application depends on non-free firmware

[Michael Gilbert]

Package: foo2zjs
Version: 20070718dfsg-6
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

foo2zjs relies heavily upon non-free firmware that is hosted at the
upstream site.  this behavior, i believe, does not adhere to the spirit of 
the debian policy for software in main (packages should not require 
packages outside of main).

although semantically, the foo2zjs package does not rely on a debian 
package outside of main, it does however depend on binary firmware packages 
outside of main (at the upstream host site).

i believe that the package, as is, belongs in contrib instead of main.
