non-US is for programs and such that can't be distributed from the US,
not things that depend on them.
Is there any reason why US people shouldn't include non-US/main in their
sources.list anyway? If so, then in the interest of letting people get
whatever they can from the closest source, even things non installable
without non-US stuff should be in main.
