Yeah. :(

I am all for including contrib packages on the live images.  The
problem is their non-free dependencies.  I'm not sure we are allowed
according to their license to distribute them.  Also, for the SUN Java
packages, there is a nasty license agreement question to answer, and
we can not really answer it on behalf of the users. :(

Not quite sure how to handle this.  I'm testing a build with both
contrib and non-free enabled, and will see what the log say. :)

Happy hacking,
