Package: dahdi-dkms
Version: 1:2.11.1.0.20170917~dfsg-7
Severity: serious

I just found this in dahdi's dkms.log:

As an installer package of some kind (it downloads sourceless blobs from
the internet during installation), it does not belong into main, but needs
to be moved to contrib. Or if the blobs can be redistributed with the
source package, it needs to go to non-free.
