I'm not sure about this. Most of my installs have the main repo only. I
did notice one install on a laptop that needs non-free wireless firmware,
the firmware got installed automatically, but I didn't think it put
non-free in the sources.list.

If you select Expert Install, you get a choice of using non-free or not.

This one gives me one false positive (libclucene-contribs1):

dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Package}\t${Section}\n' |grep -e non-free -e
contrib

This one gives me one false negative (it misses glx-diversions from contrib):
aptitude search ~i~s"non-free~|contrib"

vrms makes neither of those errors.
