It is true for non-US/non-free.  The exception that allows us to
distribute cryptographic software from US mirrors does not extend to
all software, and it's possible that some software whose license permits
redistribution via non-free is not covered under this export exemption.
I have seen no official endorsement given of merging non-US/non-free
into the principal Debian mirror network.
