It's distributed with Debian Linux, which regards everything as part of the
main distribution.
RedHat Linux has a much smaller subset of core packages and relies on
putting everything else in 'contrib'.
I prefer Debian's model because (i) every package is quality controlled;
(ii) the packages are integrated together more smoothly. But I suppose
RedHat as a commercial distribution wants to disclaim responsibility for
anything but their core packages.
