Debian Policy:

2.2.1 The main category

Every package in main must comply with the DFSG (Debian Free Software
Guidelines).

In addition, the packages in main

    * must not require a package outside of main for compilation or
execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Depends", "Recommends",
or "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-main package),
    ...

Cheers

Luk
