I am not 100% certain, but I suspect that this is a new structure which
will permit the "contrib" and "non-free" to be in sync with a particular
distribution.  In the past, these two trees were always at the "unstable"
level, leading to some conflicts with the "stable" tree.  If you look at
the top "hamm" directory, you will note that it has a "non-free" and a
"contrib" of its own.

Cheers,

Carlo
